About the Event
Please join us for a bird survey of Bullock Hill Conservation Park as part of the Great Southern BioblitzÂ
Our walk will be guided by John Gitsham and beginners and bird enthusiasts are welcome. We are aiming to spot as many species as we can to record on iNaturalist. All pairs of eyes are valued! Â
BulÂlock Hill ConÂserÂvaÂtion Park is a picÂturesque unduÂlatÂing park with a mix of habiÂtat types. From tall stands of eucaÂlypÂtus, includÂing pink gum, and cup gum through to native grasslands in the east. On the westÂern side of the park under the eucaÂlypt woodÂlands, is a dense underÂstoÂry of acaÂcia and mixed heath. This comÂbiÂnaÂtion of habiÂtats proÂvides home to a variÂety of small bird species, includÂing Brown-headÂed honÂeyeaters, Red-watÂtle birds, and Grey shrike-thrush. We may even be rewardÂed with a sightÂing of a RainÂbow bee-eater or Black-faced cuckÂoo-shrike. Â Â
Significant revegetation has been established in the park over recent years, and we will be looking to see if that has led to any changes in bird species diversity. Â
We will walk for approximately 2 hours and share morning tea (provided). Â
Bullock Hill Conservation Park is on land connected to the Ngarrindjeri and Peramangk people. Â
