A Birds Australia project funded by the World Wide Fund for

(TSN)
WHERE?
Liverpool Plains western section (Kerringle State Forest; Tambar Springs;

WHAT IS REQUIRED?
The fieldwork involves surveying areas of public lands using
the Birds Australia Atlas methods, either 2-hectare/20 minute searches or 500
metre area searches. Some experience with identifying woodland birds likely to
occur in the region by oral and visual means would obviously be an advantage.
Enthusiasm is essential.

Accommodation in the Liverpool Plains region ranges from camping at State
Forests, Nature Reserves, stock routes, Caravan Parks etc, to motel/hotel style
accommodation at Gunnedah, Tamworth, Curlewis, Quirindi, Werris Creek etc. NRMA
accommodation guides may provide further details of suitable accommodation
