Field trips July-Dec 2021

[Sue Lashko via Canberrabirds <>]

Dear members

You may have heard that parts of Namadgi affected by the fires are opening up tomorrow which gives us more venues for the second half of 2021.  These include Mt Tennant, Honeysuckle Ridge, Booroomba Rocks and Orroral Valley.

Thus far, I have only received offers to lead 3 trips so I look forward to hearing from any of our almost 400 members who have a favourite birding destination.

regards

Sue

Dear members

This is the first year that I have planned the field trip programme for just 6 months in advance, so it is now time to think about where we will go from July to the end of 2021.  Therefore, I am looking for leaders to take us to some interesting and new birding locations.  You do not need to be an experienced birder; you just need to know of a suitable location which may be your favourite birding spot.  There will always be knowledgeable members to help you with bird ID.

Just a few guidelines for those who have never led a trip:

• trips are usually held on a Sunday but Saturday is fine
• longer trips can be for a weekend, a long weekend, mid-week or even longer
• most trips are for a morning (in or close to Canberra) but a full day is also fine (and could be as far as Goulburn, Braidwood, Tallaganda, etc)

The following dates may be useful to know:

• School holidays end Term 2 - ACT - 4-19 July; NSW - 26 June-11 July
• School holidays end Term 3 - Act - 26 Sep-11 Oct; NSW - 18 Sep-4 Oct
• Labour Day long weekend - 9-11 Oct
• COG Blitz - 23-24 Oct

I look forward to hearing from many former and future trip leaders.
