At the Pilliga Wetlands Walk, along a creek fed by an artificial artesian bore bath on the outskirts of Pilliga, NSW, the following bird species were spotted by us from May 2018 until now. They are listed here in four categories, according to the timing of their sightings. In some cases the categorisation indicates a trend. Bird species that are listed as Vulnerable or Endangered, if any, are marked as such.

Bird species we have seen breeding at Pilliga Wetlands Walk (with at least a photo of a nest or nest entrance) are marked with a clickable superscript "N", leading to the relevant breeding information.

The Pilliga Wetlands Walk is listed as a "birding hotspot" on ebird.org .
