Hi Birders,
In early December 2001 the NSW Field Ornithologists
Club (now NSW Birding) had organised a tour on the boat "Lady Joy" to view the
waterbirds in the Hunter Estuary, particularly the migratory waders massed on
the Dykes at high tide on Kooragang Island; the waterbirds in the upper reaches
of Mosqueto Creek all saltmarsh and mangrove areas of Kooragang Island Nature
Reserve; and the birds in the lower harbour, such as Common and White-winged
Black Terns. Unfortuately this trip had to be cancelled at the last minute due
to the unavailability of the ferry.
However, two trips have been organised in the next
two months to do the same trip but this time by the Kooragang Wetland
Rehalitation Project. It will be the same trip as planned by NSW Birding in
December. The trips are on Tuesday 26th February at 9am & Saturday 30th
March at 9.30 am. Bookings essential. Cost is $18, trip takes 3 hours. Contact
Sue Rostrus KWRP for bookings at 02 49 649308. I will be the guide on the ferry
on both days.
