This is a short, up-to-date account to the birds found along Wolli Creek, the last substantial remnant of the natural environment in Sydney's inner south-west. It is written for those new to the Valley and interested in its natural history.

During my time in the Valley, I lived near the Creek at Bexley North, Bardwell Park and Turrella, giving me many opportunities to observe its wildlife. This work draws on a regular column I wrote for a local newspaper about the birds and other animals I found there, which I have updated to include recent changes in the Valley's birdlife.
