Fauna surveys


Help survey the wildlife found in the reserve, join a fauna observation walk.

Bird survey

Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve is haven for bird life. Join a team of volunteers to help survey the birds present in the reserve. Our team conducts regular seasonal bird surveys in the reserve to monitor the different types and numbers of birds and how this changes with the seasons. The survey takes place over 30 minutes on two sections of track. It is great if you are familiar with local birds and their calls but not a requirement. Anyone with an interest in birds is welcome to join. 

Check out the What's On page for the date of the next survey. 

You can also conduct a bird survey at home or in your local park with Birdlife Australia's Birdata tool.
