A great idea to get more people appreciating the accessibility of our beautiful urban birds. Albert Park is often overlooked for birding, but we get some really special experiences here. (Like the baby Great Crested Grebes we had in January!)
Love this review Kelly, thank you. We put so much into these simple little guides so it means a lot to get such feeback.
And baby Great Crested Grebes in January, what a special sighting. Thanks again for supporting the guide and for helping celebrate Melbourne's urban birds.
Such a great way to connect with out local area. Recommend!
