The outing to the Narrabundah Hill reserve set for the Easter weekend and timed for the honeyeater migration season had to be cancelled due to the COVID-19 restrictions.  While the migration season is now over, it is proposed we will again walk the northern and western boundaries of the reserve and, depending on conditions and the species seen, possibly along most of the western one, and either return by the same or a different path.  This will be around 4 km on relatively flat ground.  We will look for altitudinal migrants and other winter birds such as the Scarlet Robin and hopefully encounter a late mixed feeding flock to enliven proceedings.

As at the time of writing the current COVID-19 restrictions limit outdoor groups to 20 people you will need to register for this outing through Jack Holland (6288 7840 or jandaholland@bigpond.com).  Social distancing will also need to be observed; the relatively wide track should help with this.

The walk will start at 8:30 am.  Meet at the parking area and stile at the NE end of the reserve, at the corner of Warragamba Avenue and Eucumbene Drive, Duffy.  Please note that the entry to this parking area is a little tricky, and is in fact about 25 metres past (on the Mount Stromlo side) the T-junction with Warragamba Avenue, and for those driving along Eucumbene Drive from Duffy involves a quite tricky 180 degrees turn, so please take care.  Please take water morning tea to have on the track.
