The ANGAIR bird group holds monthly bird walks on the second Saturday of each month. Mike Traynor led the group for 20 years from 1998, since then Ellinor Campbell has been the convenor. The group is also involved in occasional surveys such as for the Orange-bellied Parrot. Enquiries to Ellinor: 0434 820 110.
