CERES Joes Bird Count Picnic
Join us at CERES Joe’s Market Garden to take part in the Aussie Bird Count and get to know our beautiful birds of the Merri Creek!
The national bird count is run by Birdlife Australia from 16–22 October 2023. Participants all over the country will choose a spot and count the birds they see in 20 minutes, before registering their count online.
We will be running two 20 minute counting slots, at 11am and 12pm.
Entry to the bird count is free, with the option of attending a paid bird language workshop and/or guided bird walk along the Merri. There will be a bird themed raffle, children’s craft activity, music and more!
Workshop Schedule:
#1 Bird Language with Emily Coats of Nature’s Apprentice 10:30-11:30
#2 Guided birds of the Merri Creek walk with Tristan Best from Friends of Merri Creek 11:30-12:30
This event is hosted by 3000 Acres
