Cumberland Bird Observers' Club
Birdwatching in Sydney since 1979

Willie Wagtail

Meetings usually consist of guest speakers (some from overseas), "bird of the night" where we learn identification tips, then time to socialise over a free cup of coffee, tea or orange juice. There is also time to enter your bird sightings in the Interesting Observations book.

If you don't have a car, give us a call and we can try to arrange someone to pick you up. Meetings last until about 9.30pm or 10pm.

Don't be shy - come along and say g'day.

Upcoming Meetings
third Tuesday of every month at 8pm

	Meetings in 2020
January 21	Members Night A variety of presenters
February 18	Lesbos - a birding hotspot in the Aegean Sea Alan Rogers Lesbos, the third largest of the Greek Islands, lies on a major bird migration route and for a few weeks in spring and autumn can attract a mouth-watering selection of passage migrants. In addition, the island is located within sight of the mainland of Turkey meaning that the breeding population has a small component of Asian species which have very limited ranges in Europe, with one species exclusive to Lesbos. The island maintains a wonderful balance between nature and traditional land use and is famous for its olive and chestnut groves with many orchids and wildflowers, coastal wetlands and rugged mountains.
