Come for a walk and birdwatching during National Bird Week!

Come for a walk through Mount Waverley’s Valley Reserve, as part of a celebration of National Bird Week and the Aussie Backyard Bird Count.

Ecologist Dr Joab Wilson will lead you through the indigenous habitat and draw your attention to the diversity of birds who work, nest and feed in the area.

He will give you some tips for identifying the various species and their calls so you can recognise birds next time you are out and about.

Part of the session will include promoting the following citizen science apps:
