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,
