If you are interested in joining the monthly bird survey, please contact Bob Tammick: bob_alyson@aapt.net.au The surveys are led by BirdLife Bayside president Tania Ireton. Start times are between 7.15 and 8.00 am, depending on sunrise. Seven sections (including Elster Canal) are surveyed in two groups, for 20 minutes each; both groups complete Area A together around the main pond. The process generally takes one hour and thirty minutes per group.
To view the surveys for all seven sites, go to Birdata website, select the Shared Sites tab and type Elsternwick Park in the filter: https://birdata.birdlife.org.au
