Any birdwatchers? Come to Birds of the Yarra Catchment

Peter Mason will talk about the new publication Birds of the Yarra Catchment: and where to find them.

"An excellent guide for birdwatchers visiting or living around Melbourne. Stretching from the mountains to the sea, the Yarra River catchment covers an area of approximately 4,000 square kilometres.  For each selected habitat along the river, there is a selection of birds that are likely to be seen, with particular attention given to "local special" birds."

Peter, along with other members of the Yarra Valley Branch of BOCA (Bird Observation and Conservation Australia) have been heavily involved in producing this informative book. Copies of this publication will be for sale - would make a great Christmas present!
