Saturday 4 August – Lake Ginninderra beginners' outing

 

This is the second of our bird walks for 2018 that is aimed specifically at beginners. Meet Anthony Overs (bookings essential on 0419202155 or am("gmail.com","anthony.overs");" target="_blank">) at 8.30am in the car park at the western end of Diddams Close on Ginninderra Peninsula (also known as Diddams Close Park). We will walk the shores of the peninsula around to the eastern side, then back to the car park along Diddams Close. We should be able to view several species of waterbirds up close, focusing on the identification features of the common species such as the various ducks, "waterhens" and cormorants. A variety of bush birds are also likely to be seen. Bring your binoculars and field guide.
