Hi,
After two years of undertaking these surveys under the cloud of COVID, I am delighted to promote them once again to all birders who may be interested. You would be warmly welcomed to King Island, a great birding spot in its own right – see www.birdsofkingisland.com for more information.
With 9 endemic subspecies 3 of which have been identified as being Critically Endangered, the data collected from these surveys is hugely important to the conservation of King Island’s unique birds.
Wings on King bird surveys are undertaken twice a year – last weekend of April and the 2nd weekend of November. There are over 60 survey sites that are situated on both private and public land.
Registration is an essential component – Register here www.birdsofkingisland.com/register
WE WOULD LOVE YOU TO COME TO KING ISLAND AND GIVE US A HAND – if not this autumn then perhaps for the Spring surveys or plan a trip for next year.
For more information: www.birdsofkingisland.com/wings-on-king
For information about visiting King Island and the bird Wings on King surveyor special accomodation deals: www.birdsofkingisland.com/visit or for KI tourism generally www.kingisland.org.au
We hope to see you soon…
