A group of experienced bird watchers lead by Rita Larsen have completed the second survey of the Clontarf Eco-Path site and identified 65 different species of birds. Rita advised that the highlights of the day included sightings of the Golden-headed Cisticola and a pair of Leaden Flycatchers changing guard at their nest.
The enthusiasm and knowledge within the group was amazing and you can see a number of the photographs taken on the day above. The group is conducting a year-long survey of the site with the next birdwatching event scheduled for April 2016. The day reinforced the value of the woodlands and Melaleuca forest as well as the wetlands bordering Hays Inlet in providing habitat for a variety of bird species.
The bird survey is just one component of the work being done by the community to document the flora and fauna associated with Hays Inlet and its surrounding wetlands.
