Friends all, greetings.
Saturday 27 October looks to be fairly busy one way and another. In our
area we have both the Twitchathon and the COG Blitz surveys.
But hold on, there is another big birding event, this one national. Yes,
its the annual Australian Painted Snipe survey. For more information visit
-
For the past few years members of COG have made up a team to
thoroughly survey Jerrabomberra Wetlands NR for this event, and we shall be
doing it again on 27th. We are most grateful to Parks & Conservation Service
for giving us permission to enter areas that are normally
closed.
This year due to other priorities we are just a couple of bodies
short if we want to do a thorough job. You are therefore invited to join us and
I can assure you you will not only be most welcome but you will have a great
surveying experience.
Our input for the Threatened Bird Network will be shared with COG.
By that I mean that we provide a copy of our survey result as our contribution
to the COG Blitz, and the result does include observations of all
species identified, not just waterbirds.
If
you would like to join the team please get back to me as soon as convenient. It
is planned that we shall meet at the Kellys Swamp car park at 7.30am. The survey
should be completed by 10.30am.
Best wishes
Malcolm Fyfe
