Join me tomorrow 19th of October at 8am for a birdwatch along the beautiful Merri Creek. We will leave from the Ceres bike shed and head North along the creek for about half an hour then back. The closest tram stop is the East Brunswick Stop 23 along the 96. If you have binoculars then bring them along but they are not essential.

Had a little visitor this week from a very friendly Grey Butcherbird. Not the most beautiful of birds, but a lovely song.
