Birds of Tasmania

Tasmania is located south of mainland Australia near the border between the Pacific and Indian Oceans. In the Bass Strait north of Tasmania are the smaller islands of King Island and Flinders Island. The highest elevation is Mount Ossa at 1617 m. The climate is oceanic and significantly cooler than the corresponding latitudes in the northern hemisphere. There is also more precipitation in the west of the island than in the east. 37% of the area consists of national parks. The birdlife has many species in common with the mainland, but there are also a number of endemic and breeding endemic bird species. Many animal species that have become extinct on the mainland have survived here only because some European animal species (e.g. the red fox) have not been introduced to Tasmania. Many species of birds are only seasonal in Tasmania as migratory birds.

Tasmania is located in the Pacific Ocean. Legally Tasmania belongs to Australia. Because of the number of bird species with restricted range occurring in this area, BirdLife International assigned it a Primary Endemic Bird Area (EBA-P).
