Joint outing with Urambi Hills Park Care Group

Meet at 8:00 am in Meredith Circuit, Kambah, between houses 34 & 42 for entrance to Urambi Hills Nature Reserve. Please bring binoculars, a hat, water, sunscreen, morning tea and wear sturdy shoes.

This walk will explore the lower western slopes of Urambi Hills to Tuggeranong Creek.  Depending on the day we may visit Urambi Hills trig via the new path, an easy zig-zag to top.  Then on the return route to Meredith Circuit, we will visit a few of the sites Michael surveys*, as well as other ‘birdy’ spots and note a few interesting plants in the Reserve. This is a repeat of the successful outing held in July 2025, which was oversubscribed, and on which Southern Whiteface were seen. In December, besides maybe Speckled Warbler and Scarlet Robin, we will hopefully see some of the summer migrants, such as White-winged Triller, White-throated Gerygone, Rainbow Bee-eater, and Dollarbird.

Registration is essential to mrobbins (at) home.netspeed.com.au, with your name and phone number, and name and number of an emergency contact. Maximum 20 attendees.

* Michael has been helping the Urambi Hills Park Care group by conducting bird surveys at 8 sites each three months since 2017 using the Woodland Bird Survey protocol.
