Hey bird lovers, this Saturday 8th August is our monthly survey! Join our group of bird enthusiasts for a walk around Tempe Wetlands and Tempe Reserve, spotting a surprising variety of birds.
We meet at 7.45am at Water Basin 1 near the corner of South and Station Streets, at Tempe Wetlands. From 8.00am we start the bird survey which runs for approx. 90 mins. After that we meet for morning tea at Tempe Reserve (BYO mug). It's a very relaxed morning and you don't need to be an expert! Hope to see you there.

Last month Little Black Cormorants found this little boats' roof and bow a useful resting place, while two Grey Teal occupied the cabin.

This Saturday 11th July is our monthly survey for Tempe Birdos! Can't wait to see you there. We meet at our usual location at 7.45am for an 8.00am start, Tempe Wetlands, water basin 1 near the corner of South and Station Streets. Don't forget a mug for a cuppa at morning tea afterwards!
Last month was quite surreal with a blanket of fog hanging low and thick, but it brought out many interesting birds, particularly smaller species due to the added cover and safety of the mist. Recorded at the wetlands were Superb fairy-wrens, White-browed Scrubwrens, Spotted Pardalotes, Silvereyes and Red-browed Finches. Surveying over at the Cooks River & Tempe Reserve our group saw the usual water birds including Grey Teal (and the resident white goose). A lot of Welcome Swallows were about, and highlights included a King Parrot, Sacred Kingfisher and a Peregrine Falcon!
This amazing place brings many surprises.

It’s time for our monthly survey again in Tempe! Join us this Saturday for a morning of bird spotting and good company, and of course morning tea afterwards.
Now that it’s winter we have a higher chance of seeing Terns, both Grey & Chestnut Teals, New Holland Honeyeaters and Red-browed Finches, so we’ll keep our eyes peeled.
We meet at the usual place in Tempe Wetlands (cnr Station & South Streets) at water basin 1 for an 8:00am start. If you can bring something along to share for morning tea that would be fabulous, but just your eyes and ears and a mug for a cuppa is all that’s necessary. Hope to see you there!

Hello bird lovers!

Winter is certainly well on it’s way, but the sky will be clear and sunny so it should be a great day for bird spotting tomorrow, 9th May.

Come along for a walk through the wetlands or by the Cooks river, and enjoy a warm cup of tea or coffee afterwards at morning tea (if you can bring along something to share that would be fantastic!)

Meet at 7.45am for 8.00am at the clearing next to water basin 1, Tempe Wetlands, corner of South and Station Streets, Tempe. And don’t forget to bring a pair of binoculars if you have them and mug for morning tea afterwards.

It's survey time again this Saturday11th April! Come and join us for a stroll around Tempe Wetlands and Tempe Reserve checking out the birdlife! It's a beaut hidden gem in the inner west, and over the years we've counted over 120 bird species using this area as their permanent home or seasonal stop off.
We meet at 7.45am for an 8.00am start at the large water basin near the corner of South and Station Streets, Tempe. Your eyes and ears are your best asset for spotting birds. Bring binoculars if you have them, but they're not necessary. Our 90 minute walk takes in a number of different habitats that are favoured by diverse species such as wrens, whistlers, rails, coots, ducks, cormorants, herons, parrots, cuckoos and raptors.
After our survey we gather for morning tea. Just BYO mug and something to share if you wish.
Hope to see you there!
