BirdLife Castlemaine District Mid-week Bird Walk March 2026

Our first mid-week walk of the year will be held at the Campbell’s Creek Trail in Castlemaine on the 19th March 2026.

For those wishing to enjoy a coffee and cake afterwards, we will be starting and finishing at the carpark near to Stak’s Café (by the Salvage Yard and Good Op shop) so anyone interested can stay for morning tea.

Possible sightings include Pied Currawong, Musk Lorikeet, Silvereye, Grey Fantail, Golden and Rufous Whistler and various Thornbills and Honeyeaters.

Our walk leader is Bob Dawson.

When: Meet at the Campbells Creek Trail at 9:00am.

Bring: Water, snacks, binoculars, sunscreen, hat, and we also strongly recommend that you wear long trousers and closed-in sturdy shoes.
