Reids Road

It was a great walk on Wednesday at the Reid's property. Although it was an overcast morning, the spirit of spring was in the air with much bird song and a few good sightings.Thanks to Nick and Annette for organising, please also thank the Reid's for allowing such a large group on birdos to wander around their property! Annette and Nick also hosted a very delicious morning tea and thanks to Des for the bird list.

Next month we will head up to St Marys. Meeting time to be advised soon!

Best birding wishes,

Liz
