Just a reminder to all those who have signed up for COG’s annual bird blitz that it is on this weekend, 27-28 October, when we attempt to record all bird species present in the ACT. And, as Martin has mentioned, for those heading into Namadgi NP, please be aware of other Park users. As well as the cyclists, there will be scout groups and water researchers in the Park. We have the ACT fairly well covered though additional offers to survey would always be welcomed. There are a few grid cells in Namadgi NP without coverage, and while most of the urban grid cells have at least one surveyor, there are locations within some grids that have not been specifically mentioned. Isaacs Ridge is one; the National Museum site; the grassland reserves; Mt Ainslie summit; Cotter Rd. The final map of “owned” grid cells will be provided to the webmaster late tomorrow and will be available for viewing thereafter on the COG website www.canberrabirds.org.au. So if you would like to be involved, consider selecting one of the vacant cells to survey – although unannounced 2-ha 20-min surveys of your own back yard and environs, or the local park, or even additional surveys of popular locations such as Newline would also be welcomed. Do remember to send in your datasheets promptly to COG, PO Box 301, Civic Square 2608, or bring them to the next COG meeting. There will be book prizes on offer and further prize offers would be gladly accepted! Hopefully the weather will be kind to us this year. I wish you all a successful and safe weekend’s birding. Cheers, Barbara
