Bird Survey at yaluk barring park

Join ornithologist John Harris from Wildlife and Ecology for an engaging bird survey and nature walk. Discover the diverse birdlife in our local environment while learning how to identify different

species, recognize bird calls, and understand their important role in our ecosystems.

As part of this hands-on citizen science program, participants will walk through the area with John, observing and recording the birds they encounter. You’ll learn how to use the iNaturalist app to photograph, identify, and upload your bird observations, contributing valuable information to a global biodiversity database.

Whether you’re an experienced birdwatcher or simply curious about the wildlife around you, everyone is welcome. Bring comfortable walking shoes, a water bottle, and a smartphone with the iNaturalist app installed.

Come along, explore nature, and help us build a better understanding of our local bird populations through citizen science!
