Habitat in the Cessnock area contains one of four key breeding areas for the critically endangered Regent Honeyeater.
It’s also home to other endangered woodland birds, including Swift Parrot, Black-chinned Honeyeater, Barking Owl, Grey crowned Babbler and other iconic woodland birds such as Red-capped robin( our little ‘Fence-Mate’) and Cuckoo Shrike.
We are partnering with BirdLife Australia to host a woodland bird identification workshop:
-Get to know some of the iconic and endangered woodland birds in your area
-Find out what threats face our woodland birds, and how you can help
-Find out why the Cessnock area is so important
-Learn some expert bird watching tips
-Become a citizen scientist and monitor birds on your farm using the Birdata App
-Find out how LLS can help you restore and protect important habitat on your property, and why birds are so important in the landscape.
Bring your binoculars, bring a friend, and come along for the birds.
