Ground Floor South (Blue Table)

Kick off the Aussie Bird Count at the Geelong Library & Heritage Centre!

Get to know who might be visiting your backyard this spring by learning about birds in your local area of Geelong and surrounds.

 

The Aussie Bird Count is an activity that involves observing and counting the birds that live near you – whether that’s in your garden, the local park, a beach or town centre.

 

In this session we will get you started with the Aussie Bird Count app, give you tips on identifying different types of birds, show you were to find resources about birds in your neighbourhood, and how to use and borrow the bird spotting kit from the library!
