The group will meet at 8.30 am at the Grenfell Caravan Park, corner of Bradley Street and Mid Western Highway. We aim to be back at the caravan park by about 11 am. Please bring your binoculars, sturdy shoes, a hat, water and a snack.

The bird watchers, made of Birding NSW members from Sydney, Wollongong and Dubbo, are visiting Grenfell to carry out their seventh bird survey. We have been carrying out bird surveys every six months since 2011. We survey at 28 sites around Grenfell including several sites on private properties. We particularly look for Superb Parrots, Diamond Firetails, Swift Parrots and Painted Honeyeaters but we record all birds seen at each site. The surveys are contributing information on the status of birds in the South West Slopes Important Bird Area (IBA) to the BirdLife Australia Atlas of Australian birds.
