Libraries Environment and sustainability

Join us in Girrawheen Library to learn how to identify birds and help science as an eBird Citizen Scientist.

Event details

Date and time

Saturday 21 November, 10am to 12pm

Suitable for

All ages

Our birds need your help. Learn how to correctly identify the different local birds, even those which look the same, and discover how to use the free, eBird app and website to record the birds you’ve seen, whether in your own garden, local park or favourite reserve. Become a bird-watching citizen scientist and improve your bird-watching skills at the same time. It’s fun!

With the possibility of bird flu spreading, it’s vital for us all to club together to understand what birds are where. Only then can we determine which ones are increasing and which are under threat. At the moment, there are no bird lists in the Girrawheen area on eBird. Let’s turn that around.

Presenters

Our enthusiastic bird-watching tag team, Rachel and Mike Green, are popular presenters who draw in a crowd, so book early. They are authors of the book "A guide to the Birds of Broz Park" and their bird garden has been featured on the ABC's Gardening Australia TV programme and in an 8-page spread in Gardening Australia Magazine. Rachel has also recorded 380+ bird lists across 160+ locations on eBird. If you haven’t been to a bird walk or talk with them before, make sure you come to this one.
