Hello subscribers, there are still a few places left before the maximum
number of participants has been reached. So if you are interested, please
see details below.
However, the main purpose of this post is to seek your help in identifying
places where raptor species can be reliably seen. Where are some
good spots you would go? What is at Jerrabomberra wetlands at the
moment? It would be great to be able to find a Brown Goshawk or
Sparrowhawk, though the former can be a bit dicey as they’re very vigorous
swoopers if they are nesting.
All suggestions will be gratefully received.
Many thanks
Jack Holland
Raptors ID Session, Thursday 10
October – bus trip/outing
Stephen
Debus has agreed to lead a raptor ID session the following
morning as a follow up to his presentation at the COG
meeting. For this one 12
seater bus has been booked and if it is filled a maximum of two cars may be
allowed as a tag-alongs on a car-pooling basis, thus making it a maximum of 20
people. The cost of the bus will be
$20 per person and the bus will be leaving at 8 am sharp from a central car park
where parking is free all day.
Exact details of meeting arrangements etc will be E-mailed to
participants a few days before the event.
The route taken will not be decided until very close to the day, and will
depend on where raptors can be most easily seen at the time. If you are interested please contact Jack Holland on 6288
7840 or by return E-mail
