Locals who walk the Blackburn parklands know that in Spring different birds migrate to the area.

Kookburras and Tawny Frogmouths are always there but Scarlet Robins, Grey Fantails and Crimson Rosellas come and go.

Probus members are invited to join Blackburn Creeklands bird watchers for a one hour walking tour of local parks.

Morning tea follows the walk.

As usual, expert knowledge will be provided by two team members who will tell walkers about bird colouring, nesting habits and flying patterns.

Spring Walk

Grey day, good day to hear birds and not see birds. On the Spring bird count walk, observers counted 22 species.

Thanks for joining us on the walk. Hopefully with the help of the guides you will now have a broader bird knowledge, particularly the species that frequent Blackburn.
