From the 7th-12th September 2011, Mt Barney Lodge hosted the 3rd annual Bird Week!
Over one exciting week, Mount Barney Lodge will be hosting bird experts who will conduct talks, tours, slideshows and workshops to extend your birding knowledge.
Barry Davies from Gondwana Guides (Winner of the 2005 and 2009 Australian Eco Guide of the Year) will be the lead guide for the field trips, and will conduct all the guided bird walks.
Michael Snedic is one of Australia’s most accomplished wildlife and nature photographers and tutors, with a special interest in native birds. His photos and articles have been published in numerous publications across Australia, as well as cover photos of birds on Wingspan (Birds Australia), Wildlife Australia and Australian Photography. He is a regular feature writer on birds/nature photography for these same magazines.
Michael is the author of a 200 page coffee table book titled “Wildlife of Australia – a nature photographer’s journey”.
Michael co-owns and operates Trekabout Photography Workshops, and conducts half-7 day workshops “in-the-field” in stunning natural settings, including south east Queensland, the Red Centre, Lord Howe Island and Norfolk Island.
At Mt Barney Lodge’s Bird Week, Michael will be presenting a special bird audio-visual, as well as hands-on workshops on bird photography techniques.
This Birdweek program is suitable for amateurs or experienced birders alike.
Bird week is held during National Threatened Species Week, and we take time to reflect on and appreciate the unique local biodiversity. The threatened Glossy Black Cockatoo and endangered Eastern Bristlebird are both local inhabitants of the Mt Barney Area.
National Threatened Species Day is a time for us to consider the impact we can have on the natural environment. Mt Barney Lodge has an onsite conservation project for the Glossy Black Cockatoo, is a partner of the Glossy Black Conservancy, and supports Eastern Bristlebird surveys in the area.
More information on National Threatened Species day can be found at www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity.
