BirdLife WA - Walk - Lake McLarty

  • Date Sunday, 18 January 2026
  • Time 7:30 am
  • Locations Lake McLarty, Murray

Overview

Half-day excursion

Bring your lunch, sun hat, insect repellent, water and telescopes.

Wear rubber boots or old shoes as it will be muddy. Lake McLarty is an IBA site for migratory waders so there should be a variety of waders at the Lake, as well as many waterbirds and bushbirds.

Over 140 bird species have been recorded in this reserve. Note: this excursion may be moved to an alternative venue if water levels are unsuitable. Any changes will be posted on Facebook prior to the event or you can contact the BirdLife WA office.

Bring a chair and lunch to have while we do a combined bird list.

For BWA members and their guests. Members of the public are welcome to join the walk (bring binoculars).

 Leader: Sue Abbotts
