Birdwatching Outings
BirdLife Australia Murray Goulburn Branch runs monthly day trips from February to December
each year.
Outings are held on Saturday or Sunday, visiting bushland, wetlands
or private property to birdwatch; BYO lunch and a chair.
If you are a member of BOCA, or if you would like to just come along
and enjoy a days birdwatching, you are welcome. Just turn up!
If you require transport, please contact MGBOCA
We usually have one weekend camp per year.
Outings are cancelled on days of Total Fire Ban.
