Birds Queensland Visit Sept 2012


What a lovely day for a walk in the bush at Kumbartcho and along the South Pine River corridor.  There were 63 different bird sightings were made- which seemed to please our visitors from Birds Queensland.


The group was a pleasure to entertain, I don't really know if entertain is the word, I had no difficulty holding their attention till someone in the group managed to spot another type of bird then all the sophisticated cameras tripods and binoculars would reappear. All discussion would cease till an identification by the group was made.
 

After a talk we went to the nursery.An introduction to Irene the Nursery Manager was. She was able show the visitors all her bird friendly plants that are propagated in the nursery.  


Our guests went away armed with brochures. Even some sales were made and promises to return as Kumbartcho Sanctuary is a "Must See Place" for bird spotting.

I feel a productive visit was had by all.
