SUMMARY:Discover the Birds of Broz Park Nature Walk  with Rachel and Mike Green
DESCRIPTION:Discover the Birds of Broz Park Nature Walk \nwith Rachel and Mike Green \n   \nPLEASE BOOK YOUR PLACE \nTo book for this event\, please go to the following website. Those that already booked using the RSVP on this website have been added into Eventbrite.  \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/discover-the-birds-of-broz-park-nature-walk-tickets-1984516289644?aff=oddtdtcreator \n  \n  \nDiscover the number one bird hot spot (by size) in the Helena Valley in the Shire of Mundaring and learn all about the birds you might see there. Join local bird enthusiasts\, Rachel and Mike Green\, as they lead you on a guided bird walk around the park and tell you about the birds\, how to recognise them\, where in the park you might see them and how they behave. \nRachel and Mike are the authors of the “Guide to the Birds of Broz Park”\, published by the Shire of Mundaring in 2025 and know the park well. They have surveyed the birds there over 80 times. They are also long-standing members of the Darling Range Branch of the WA Naturalists’ Club. \nWhich birds will you see? That is impossible to predict as it varies with the water levels but there have been at least 64 bird species recorded there\, from the tiny Black-fronted Dotterel and Weebill to the large Black Swan and Great Egret. A winter wetland attracts many other birds including Shovelers\, Spoonbills and Stilts. \nEveryone who attends will be given a free copy of the Broz Park book\, if you haven’t already got one. This will help you look for and identify the birds. Rachel and Mike may even put your bird identification skills to the test with a quiz to find specific birds they know are in the park that day. Of course you can use the book to help you! \nBroz Park has a sealed easy walking track all around its lake. It has a bird hide\, toilets\, trees\, native flowers\, BBQs\, seats with shelters\, a water fountain\, and of course\, the birds. The path is suitable for people with walking frames and wheelchairs\, although people may also walk over a grassy area. \nThe Shire of Mundaring supported by Natural Resource Management (NRM) and other organisations have invested a lot of time and work into an environmental restoration project at the Park. They are working to improve the health of the wetland\, e.g. by aeration of the water\, removing non-native fish species\, planting native rushes and sedges\, revegetating with local plant species\, educating the community\, and more. This is a great opportunity to see this important work. \nDate: Saturday 2nd May 2026. \nTime: Start 10am\, finish no later than 12 noon. \nAddress: 4 Parkview Gardens\, Helena Valley WA 6056. \nMeet at: Broz Park\, Park View Gardens\, Helena Valley. Take the roundabout off Helena Valley Road into Helena Valley Private Estate. There is ample free parking on Park View Gardens. \nWhat to bring: Bring binoculars. Also a hat\, sunglasses\, sunscreen\, walking shoes (no thongs please) etc. according to the weather on the day. \nPeople are welcome to bring a picnic lunch and stay back afterwards. \nBookings are essential as numbers are limited. This is an event run by the Shire of Mundaring to which we have been invited. A link will be published on Eventbrite shortly. \nThis is a free event thanks to the Shire of Mundaring. \nIdeal for: People who are new to bird watching or experienced bird watchers who haven’t been to Broz Park before. Children aged 8 and above are welcome.
