Cost: $5 per family
Length of time: 90 mins
Join us and volunteers from Birdlife Bunbury as we take a gentle walk along the edge of the Leschenault Inlet and the mangrove boardwalk to spot the variety of bird species present. Tune in your hearing to different bird calls and use binoculars to help identify the different bird species that call the Inlet and the surrounding vegetation their home. If we are lucky, we may spot the resident ospreys nesting or plunging into the water in search of their breakfast.
