Coming Next

Every spring about two million shorebirds from dozens of species make an epic migration from the far north of Asia and the Americas to Australia. Shorebirds or "waders" navigate halfway around the world using migratory routes including the East Asian-Australasian Flyway.

Come to our next Wild In Bayside talk and learn about these incredible creatures, their feats of endurance and navigation, the hazards they face, the work researchers are doing to understand them better, and how we can help in Port Phillip Bay and Bayside.

Our guest speaker is Tania Ireton. Tania is a longtime local resident and member of FoNW. She is President of Birdlife Bayside, active in surveying birds in our area and educating everyone about them. She is also one of Australia's top birders.

Free community event.

Out of the Woodwork

Woodworkers

 

Rob was overwhelmed by the support when a call went out on our member newsletter.

There was an immediate response to help make a large number of bird boxes to support an order from a group wishing to enhance habitat in people’s gardens. We had more offers of time and talent than boxes pre-cut ready to assemble and paint.

Bat Detector Bulk Purchase

For those who want to find microbats themselves.

At our last microbat event at Long Hollow, several people expressed interest in owning their own Baton Bat Detector. FoNW are about to purchase some more. Purchasing multiple detectors means we qualify for a discount. If you've wanted to own your own detector that you can use anywhere, anytime, now's your opportunity to get one at a discount by piggybacking on our order.

Register your interest by 13 December.
