American Birders join us at Melbourne's Birding Hotspot

Описание: Join us on an unforgettable day of birdwatching at Melbourne’s premier avian hotspot—the Werribee Treatment Plant—as we meet and explore with four enthusiastic American birders we’d never crossed paths with until this very day.

From vibrant wetlands to sweeping lagoons, this international meetup turned into a thrilling search for rare and resident bird species that call this unique habitat home. Whether you're a seasoned birder or just love discovering nature’s hidden gems, this cross-cultural birding adventure is sure to inspire your next outing.

The weather was cold, overcast and windy.... but the birds did not mind at all. In fact, the list just kept on growing on this trip...
