Field Outings

The Club holds field outings most weekends, and there are presently two mid-week outings each month. Field trips range from a half-day’s birding at local sites, to campouts and overseas tours. Accommodation on overnight trips varies from camping to motels.

If you’re joining a field outing make sure you:

• read the newsletter for details on where and when to join the group
• bring something for morning tea and lunch.
