Beginners Bird
Watching Walk
Neil leads bird walking tours in Canberra on the first Sunday of every month. We take time to learn how to bird watch as well as seeing and understanding how to identify lots of birds. On an average morning we might expect to see over 30 different species. This is an ideal activity for novices, those new to bird watching, and children over the age of 10.
