This morning walk will be aimed specifically to help beginners and new members identify waterbirds, as well as other birds in the surrounding treed and grassed areas, and to learn about their behaviour and calls. Jerrabomberra Wetlands is well suited to viewing ducks and other waterbirds at close quarters from the hides. Dress appropriately for winter conditions.
Meet at 9.00 am at the carpark at the end of Dairy Road. Registration is essential; please provide your name and mobile phone number, as well as an emergency contact name and number. Book your place with Sue (smlashko@gmail.com or text 0449 898 838), who will be happy to discuss whether this outing is suitable for you. Please make sure to bring your binoculars, and the ACT field guide by McComas Taylor if you have it. If you do not have binoculars, please let me know as COG can supply you with a pair to use on the day.
Note that the aim of the walk is to introduce you to bird-watching, not bird photography, so please leave your camera at home.
