Walk: Birding near Ourimbah

Registration essential

Ross Rapmund is leading a bird walk through Palmgrove Ourimbah Creek Landcare site. It’s a restoration project of many decades that includes rainforest, wet sclerophyll tall forest and open grassy/swampy areas so it ticks lots of boxes for birding and is a good restoration tale. We will walk along a well shaded wide fire trail which has abundant bird life and other wildlife too.

Date: Monday 12 October
Time: 9 to 11:30 am
Meet: Ourimbah Creek Road just where it passes underneath the M1 (there is a boom gate on a fire trail which heads into the reserve)
Parking: limited so best to park beyond the entry and walk back
Grade: medium, total elevation change 175 m
Distance: 3 to 4 km (slow flat ramble)
Bring: binoculars, camera, closed shoes, a snack and a drink
Note: lots of leeches if it has rained in the previous 48 hours
Afterwards: drink and snacks (provided)
