Join us for a day of celebration, community and learning about birds at the beautiful Shoalhaven Heads. Start off with a Bird Walk on the amazing "International Bird Airport" on the estuary.

If you are joining the Bird Walk, meet before 8:30 am at the carpark at the end of River Rd, Shoalhaven Heads.

Following the Bird Walk, meet at the Shoalhaven Heads Bowling Club at 10 am for a 10:15 start to proceedings.

Following a Welcome to Jerrinja country and the official launch by Fiona Phillips, Federal Member for Gilmore, there will be a Plenary session with Prof Dave Watson from Charles Sturt University on the application of machines and automation for the acquisition of species abundance data. Dr Flossy Sperring of Western Sydney University will speak on her research on the ecology and conservation of remote island raptors. Penny Beaver will speak on Sea-Bird ecology and her research on how seabirds adapt their foraging behaviour in response to human pressures. Very importantly we will have a representative from the Office of the Threatened Species Commissioner talking among other topics, about how Australia is responding to the looming H5N1 crisis.

Morning, afternoon teas and lunch will be provided.

There will be opportunity to interact with the speakers and other attendees as well visit a range of stall holders from other wildlife, community and conservation oriented organisations.

Birdlife Shoalhaven will have a stall selling beautiful hand-made up-cycled T-shirts.

Tickets are just $50.
