COG’s bird blitz 25-26 October 2014 – update 20 Oct 14
The core sites on the “to be adopted” list are filling in nicely though there are still a few unloved areas – particularly to the south and south-west of the city, McQuoids Hill and Urambi Hills Nature Reserves, Bullen Bullen, Rob Roy etc. And there are always a few areas along Boboyan Rd which may be missed. Anyone feeling venturesome might like to head to the high Brindabellas, where coverage is thinnish. And mid-city, no-one has put a hand up to survey the Australian National University grounds, usually quite a fertile birding site. The various coves and inlets around Lake Burley Griffin are still up for grabs, as is Red Hill and Mt Pleasant. Come on, birders! Join us for a weekend’s birding to try and get as complete a picture of the ACT avifauna as possible. Even if you are a last-minute starter, that’s fine.
