Birdlife
The birdlife at The Rest is spectacular and is best enjoyed from secluded bird hides that have been built at several of the picturesque watering holes around the estate, allowing nature-lovers to discretely watch the birds in their natural habitat. The Rest hosts several bird-watching events around the estate for residents. A sanctuary is being created to encourage more native bird species to return to the area and Estate management is focused on removing alien trees and introducing more indigenous plants to the area. As a Corporate Member of Birdlife SA, The Rest supports and works with Birdlife SA and the local bird watching association, which monitors and documents the dozens of species on the estate. More than 190 bird species have been sighted within the estate to date.
