Share your bird pictures
Lots of wonderful photos were taken on the Grenfell Survey weekend but that is not the only weekend in the year when beautiful/curious birds are captured in wonderful poses.
Why not share your wonderful bird pictures? Just send them to info@birdingnsw.org.au and we will put them up in the gallery. Medium sized pictures are preferred. High resolution is better but we will take all pix.
Your picture is likely to pique interest so why not add a couple of words about where it was taken?
