Bird walk and talk – City Nature Challenge

Learn about the birds who live at, and pass through, Lillydale Lake on this walk with Des Palmer as part of the City Nature Challenge.

Des will talk about birds encountered on the walk and those we won’t see but will mostly likely be present. Des will share his knowledge about bird species in decline and contributing factors including invasive feral species and what you can do to help native birds on your own property.

Walk times are 10.15am and 11.30am.

This walk is just one activity taking place at Lillydale Lake for the City Nature Challenge. Join an insect walk or hear about frogs of the Yarra Ranges. Find out what else is happening
