The Canberra Ornithologists Group is pleased to be organising the BA
Campout to be held from Wednesday 6^th to Saturday 9^th April 2011. The
Campout will be based at the Bush Heritage Australia property
'_Scottsdale
<http://www.bushheritage.org.au/our_reserves/state_new_south_wales/scottsdale>_'
located off the Monaro Highway 83 km from Canberra and four km north of
the township of Bredbo, NSW. There will be no Birds Australia Congress
held in conjunction with the Campout in 2011.
The timing of the autumn campout has been arranged to coincide with the
annual honeyeater migration. In addition to the spectacular number of
Yellow-faced and White-naped Honeyeaters, many other bird species of
interest are involved in the passage out of the Brindabella Ranges.
Apart from observing the passage many other activities will be arranged
which may include tours of Scottsdale, and outings to Namadgi National
Park, Tallaganda State Forest, Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve and the
Tinderry Nature Reserve. Opportunities will be provided to become
involved in bird surveying for the Kosciusko to Coast (K2C) project on
the Saturday morning.
For those intending to spend the weekend in Canberra at the end of the
Campout local outings will be provided which may involve visits to the
Australian National Botanic Gardens, Jerrabomberra Wetlands, Mulligan's
Flat Sanctuary and the International Arboretum,.
