The Easter campout this year will be to Round Hill Nature Reserve in central NSW. We should see a variety of western birds as there is a range of habitat types, including mallee, callitris and eucalypt woodlands. Past COG trips have seen Malleefowl, Chestnut-backed Quail-thrush, Southern Scrub-Robin, Shy Heathwren, Gilbert’s Whistler and Spotted Nightjar. There is always a slight chance of a Red-lored Whistler.
Round Hill is between Lake Cargelligo and Mt Hope and is 5+ hours’ drive from Canberra. We will spend most of our time close to camp with perhaps a couple of short drives. It will be a “bring everything” camp.
