I don't know of a directory for all events, but BirdLife Australia
has the capacity to list all events organised by their branches. I
am involved in BirdLife Western Australia, and I admit that we don't
make full use of this facility. It has our regular excursions and
monthly meetings listed, but we have many other events organised by
our Community Education Committee, Great Western Woodlands surveys,
shorebird counts, Rottnest surveys, other surveys, etc.
The National Bird Week is the last full week in October each year
(Monday to Sunday). This year it is October 20th to 26th. Many BA
branches are organising events, and nationally the Aussie Backyard
Bird Count is being launched and this will become an annual event as
part of NBW. I encourage everyone to participate in this, but more
importantly the aim is to attract many members of the general public,
and so it is more important if you can promote this event at any opportunity.
BirdLife Western Australia is planning an open day at our office at
Bold Park in Floreat on Sunday 19th October to launch the week, and
to promote our activities with walks,talks (cockatoos, Western Ground
Parrot, GWW, Wonder of Birds) and a sausage sizzle is planned. There
is a public walk at Herdsman Lake on Saturday 25th. The CEC has an
event on the Friday. As part of the Rio Tinto Birdwatch event in the
Pilbara, we will be promoting NBW and the ABBC. Our country branches
are planning walks for the public.
