Celebrate National Bird Week with this waterbird workshop held in partnership with Hunter Bird Observers Club (HBOC).

We’ll start with a theory presentation in the conference room. Topics include:

What is a waterbird?
Waterbird groups, habitat niches and adaptations.
The Hunter monitoring programs.
How to identify waterbird species.

From there, join us for a guided birdwatching tour. You’ll walk around the ponds in small groups led by expert guides. Spot the birds you’ve been learning about, get new insight into their behaviour and learn about their habitat. You’ll also have a chance to observe birds up close with our telescopes on the deck.

Keynote Speakers: Andrew McIntyre & Louise Williams

Tickets: Unwaged $15, Waged $35.
