Amber Mountain National Park (Parc National Montagne d’Ambre) is a good place to see a variety of rainforest birds. The wide, well-maintained tracks lend themselves to viewing into the canopy. Some of the specials include the localized Amber mountain rock thrush and the beautiful but elusive pitta-like ground roller. The magnificent Madagascar crested ibis is easy to see and it’s worth looking out for some of the waterbirds, such as the Madagascar little grebe, on the shores of the lake.

Best Time for Bird Watching
Bird watching in Amber Mountain is good throughout the year. However, many birds tend to be silent and inactive from May to August in the Dry season. This is especially true for the sought-after ground rollers. The Wet season months are best for bird watching, but the wettest months from January to March can be problematic for logistical reasons. So, the best time is from September to December, before the heavy rains arrive. Migratory birds are present in the wet summer months from November to April.
