Looking for an interesting way to spend your Saturday morning? Grab your best pair of binoculars and head to Hannah Watts Park on Saturday, June 21, as the Eynesbury Environment Group hosts its next bird walk.
This two-hour avian expedition will take attendees through this Melton park to watch and count bird species, enjoy some fresh air, and appreciate the local area’s flora and fauna.
Long pants, walking shoes, water, binoculars, a hat, and sunscreen are recommended.
You could also bring a camera along and capture a few wildlife shots to share with friends.
At the group’s last bird walk in Melton Botanic Garden on May 17, 10 attendees from Melton, Staughton Vale, Eynesbury and Bacchus Marsh spotted 15 species, including a brown goshawk flying above the trees, a flock of red-rumped parrots, and three rainbow lorikeets.
According to the Eynesbury Environment Group, it was formed to allow like-minded flora and fauna lovers a place to come together, hosting bi-monthly bird walks and selling local native plants.
The group is also looking for volunteers, with those interested encouraged to email eynesbury.environment.group@gmail.com.
Come and enjoy nature and company at the June 21 bird walk, running from 9am to 11am at Hannah Watts Park, 183-225 High Street, Melton.
