Birds Queensland Birdwatching – Ironbark Gully, Samford Conservation Park
If you have ever wondered "What bird is that?" or "Why does this bird do that?" and you're keen to learn about our local birds and find out what birdwatching is all about (beware: it can become addictive) or if you are more experienced and looking to explore somewhere new, come and join members of Birds Queensland on a walk around this beautiful reserve. Please bring binoculars if you have them and a phone or camera to participate in the Parks Connect BioBlitz.
