This is the first time the club’s had bird watching on the program, but as many members enjoy nature this was introduced to see if there was an interest. By all accounts it seems they all took to it like a duck to water. There were mainly water birds to observe but also some birds of prey. The group also spotted a couple of echidnas close to where they were watching the birds, and a turtle at another place, and were fortunate to see them as well. A very civilized afternoon tea was had at the café, and to end it, they did a short walk in a different location at Winton Wetlands. All in all, it was a lovely day in nature, with good weather and company and thanks to great bird watching guide - Rod had replaced our friend Peter at short notice. It is with great sadness the club honours the passing of Peter Ockenden, a wonderful gentleman who joined the club in 2019.
