Content preview: Hey Bill, One good spot very nearby (you could walk there)
is Reedy Swamp Wildlife Reserve, just north west of town. See
http://tinyurl.com/lfurvn7.
It's beside the Goulburn River, and you get good numbers of waterbirds i.e
Hardhead, Shoveler, Black-tailed Native-hen, Crakes, Rails, Latham's Snipe
and it's a nesting site for things like Pelican, Royal Spoonbills and Great
Egret. Also good for White-bellied Sea-Eagle, Dollarbird, Rainbow Bee-eater,
White-breasted Woodswollow, Rufous Songlark, Brown Quail, Little Friabird,
Blue-faced and Black-chinned Honeyeater, White-throated and Western
Gerygone,
and Diamond Firetail. From what I know, there are also occasional records
of Bush Stone-curlew, Barking Owl, Greg-crowed Babbler, Speckled Warbler,
White-backed Swallow and Little Bittern (in the rush around the lake) - so
keep you eyes and ears open. Murray River Tortoise, Yellow?footed Antechinus
and Squirrel Glider also occur there, so, worth checking out. [...]

Hi all
I'm being sent to Shepparton for a couple of days (probably the 24th and
25th of November). I'm going to be working at a couple of electorate
offices for the Parliament, but I'm hoping that I might be able to sneak
off either in the evening or maybe early in the morning.
Can anyone let me know of a good birding spot, relatively close by, that I
can access in, say, less than 30 minutes? I'm hoping I'll have a car
available to me.
Bill
