A chance to see Melton’s lorikeets, ducks, and darters while enjoying the company of others – the Eynesbury Environment Group’s next guided bird walk will take attendees along Toolern Creek in Melton South this weekend.
Toolern Creek forms a corridor for birds and other wildlife through Melton, and according to Eynesbury Environment Group member and bird walk leader Daryl Akers, there are a wide range of birds that attendees are likely to see, including rainbow lorikeets, black ducks, wood ducks, waterbirds, darters, cormorants and various colourful parrots.
“Apart form seeing birds, of course, it’s basically just a chance to join [in] on a pleasant walk with pleasant scenery and good company,” Mr Akers said.
“It’s a good social place to walk”
The walk will be along a paved footpath and attendees are encouraged to bring long pants, walking shoes, water, binoculars – which are also available to borrow – and a camera.
It will begin at 9am and run for about an hour on Saturday, July 19, setting off from the beginning of the footpath at Tamar Drive, Melton South.
