WHEN & WHERE
11th-13th January
This weekends survey will occur in the south-western section of the Liverpool
Plains from Blackville, Trinkey State Forest, Mt Tamarang across to south-west
of Premer and north to Tambar Springs (time permitting - north to Kerringle
State Forest).
Those who are keen campers, myself and other volunteers will camp at Trinkey
State Forest. There is no deignated camp area in the Forest so those
interested in camping should let me know and we can arrange a time and place to
meet. There may be accomodation nearby at Premer and Coonabarabran
WHAT IS REQUIRED
The fieldwork involves surveying areas of
private and/or public lands using the Birds Australia Atlas methods, either
2-hectare/20 minute searches or 500 metre area searches. Volunteers will also be
required to complete Atlas Habitat Data sheets. Conditions will more than likely
be warm to hot, & volunteers will need to wear appropriate clothing. Some
experience with identifying woodland birds likely to occur in the region by oral
and visual means would obviously be an advantage. A Global Positioning System
(GPS) would also be an advantage. Enthusiasm is essential.
