Our first activity for 2017 will be on Tuesday 4 April. We will meet at 10am behind the library, near the BBQ beside the walking track around Lake Benalla. We will walk towards Jaycee Island for a half circuit of the lake, and expect to finish around midday. This is the same walk that got the group started in 2016. The walk around Lake Benalla is an excellent way to introduce the birds of Benalla. For those who attended our activities in 2016, it will be a nice refresher to test your bird watching skills.
What to bring
Binoculars if you have them, sturdy walking shoes, a water bottle and any nibbles you need en route.
U3A Bird watching Tuesday 2 May 2017 Chesney Vale
We will visit private property at Chesney Vale on Tuesday 2 May, travelling in convoy from Benalla. Please meet in the car park behind Aldi in Barkly Street at 10am. The Chesney hills are home to a few of the less common bushland birds in our region, and we have a good chance of seeing some of them.
What to bring
Binoculars if you have them, sturdy walking shoes, a water bottle and a picnic lunch. We should be back in Benalla by 1.30pm.
