BirdLife Castlemaine District Activities Calendar 2026
All levels of experience welcome – walks and other activities are a great chance to learn from and have fun with fellow birdwatchers. Full details about each activity will be posted on the BirdLife Castlemaine District Facebook page and included in our eNews.
Activities will be cancelled if, during the activity period; severe weather warnings are in place, temperatures over 35oC or persistent rain is forecast, a Total Fire Ban has been declared or other safety issue is identified. Please check BirdLife Castlemaine District Facebook page BirdLife Castlemaine on the evening before a walk, in case the event has been cancelled.
