Meet at 8am at the Colquhoun Street entrance to the reserve, which is off Sulwood Drive in Kambah.
We will spend the morning observing the birds of the remnant Yellow Box-Red Gum Grassy Woodland of the lower north-western section of the reserve, before heading up the mountain, where the habitat changes to Dry Shrubby Box Woodland. We will look at some habitat here that could provide food for the Glossy Black-Cockatoo (noting that this species hasn't been recorded here since 1996) and examine the effects of the 2003 fire on this sensitive area. Another focus for this walk will be noting any of the early migrants that have returned, and for those so inclined, enjoying the colourful spring woodland flowers. Medium fitness required as terrain is sloped. Bring water, sunscreen and morning tea.
