'Eyre Bird Observatory' is an educational, scientific and recreational facility in the
Nuytsland Nature Reserve,
Western Australia.
Cocklebiddy is the nearest locality on the
Eyre Highway 49 km to the north.
Sandwiched between the
Nullarbor Plain to the north and the
Great Australian Bight to the south, it lies in one of the least populated places on the Australian continent. It was established in
1977 by
Birds Australia in the disused
Eyre Telegraph Station as Australia's first bird observatory, in order to provide a base for the study and enjoyment of the birds of the area.
