What a fabulous morning we had on Sunday 23rd July with Sean Dooley, Editor of Bird Life Magazine. Sean shared with us his childhood memories about growing up near the Seaford swamp where he discovered many water birds. He took us on his journey around Australia as he followed and recorded as many birds as he could in one year and in order to hold the record. Whilst poignant at times, he was entertaining and spoke freely about his care for and love of birds and why protecting their habitat is so important.

We partnered with Plastic Bag Free Daylesford for this event, morning tea was provided by Friends members, and sandwiches made by favourite local café Muffy’s. All went down a treat afterwards and we thank them for not using any plastic wrap. On behalf of the 65 people who attended, thank you to Landcare Australia for funding this event.
