All levels of experience are welcome – the walks are a great chance to learn from and have fun with fellow birdwatchers. Full details about the walk time, location, what to bring, walk duration, birds we expect to see, etc. will be sent to our email mailing list and posted on the BirdLife Castlemaine District Facebook page and included in our eNews in the lead up to each walk. Become a BirdLife member http://birdlife.org.au/support-us/join-us/ to subscribe to our mailing list, or email castlemaine@birdlife.org.au.
Standard things to bring along to each walk include water, snacks, binoculars, hat, sunscreen, sturdy shoes, long pants during snake season, and other weather-appropriate gear.
Walks will be cancelled if, during the walk period, the temperature is forecast to be 35 degrees or more; severe weather warnings are in place; persistent rain is forecast; or if the day has been declared a Total Fire Ban day. Please check your email on the evening before a walk/activity to find out if the event has been cancelled.
For more information, please email castlemaine@birdlife.org.au or call or text Judy Hopley (0425 768 559) or Asha Bannon (0418 428 721).
