Post event report
Fourteen new and recently-joined members attended this beginners’ outing. Binoculars were supplied and instructions given for their use. An introduction to the pocket Field Guide to Birds of the ACT by Taylor and Day was given prior to the walk. The aim was to identify birds from each of the following groups: wetlands, grasslands, woodlands, parrots and cockatoos, black and white birds, and small birds. The highlights were good views of a male Scarlet Robin and a White-throated Gerygone calling and flying nearby. The field guides proved to be useful aids as a source of reference during the walk.
