It’s on again. The last bird walk at Broz Park was so popular that we are running it again. This time in the month of August when different birds are expected and there should be water in the wetland. Birds, such as Yellow-billed Spoonbills, Great Egrets, White-faced Herons, Black-fronted Dotterels and even Shovelers have all been seen here in August.

It’s the number one bird hot spot (by size) in the Shire of Mundaring. 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.

Rachel and Mike are the authors of the “Guide to the Birds of Broz Park” and have surveyed the birds here over 80 times. They’ve recorded over 64 species here, so far. They are also long-standing members of the Darling Range Branch of the WA Naturalists’ Club.

Everyone 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 put your bird identification skills to the test with a quiz to find specific birds. Of course, you can use the book to help you!

Broz Park has a sealed easy walking track all around its wetland and 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.

The Shire of Mundaring supported by Natural Resource Management (NRM) and other organisations are working to improve the health of the wetland and this is a great opportunity to see this important work.

Thanks to the Shire of Mundaring who are sponsoring and organising this event and have invited us to join them. This is a free event. Bookings are essential – the last one booked out.
