25/10/23 Bird & Frog survey: Yellingbo

Notes from: a Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater hosted citizen science event.
The weather was almost perfect - still and mild - as we headed out for our Bird & Frog survey. In a section of the Yellingbo Nature Conservation Area that is rarely walked we recorded 46 bird species and 3 frog species (Pobblebonk, Striped Marsh Frog and Common Eastern Froglet). The highlights? A great volunteer team with 3 new participants, an expansive wetland with waterbirds everywhere and a number of birds sitting on nests including a Wedge-tailed Eagle. Taking time out to quietly watch a Little Pied Cormorant fishing in the creek was bliss :)
A great team effort, thank you!!
