Meet at 7.30 am at the end of Car Park 23 near the Dog Park.
From Marshall Road turn north onto Dulwich Street and enter Whiteman Park. (Please note: only the Dulwich Street gate will be open early (7:00 am); all other park gates open at 8.30am.)
Drive until the T- junction, then turn right and then right again into the car park adjacent to the dog exercise area.
We will walk the 2.5km loop Werillyiup Bush Trail (Blue Poles), which goes around Horse Swamp. At this time of the year, the seasonal swamp should still be filled with water and surrounded by boggy meadows. This mixed habitat provides a good opportunity to see a variety of both bush and water birds. The path is well maintained, dry and does not require boots.
Park gates open as in the note above and entry is free.
Bring a chair and morning tea to have while we do a combined bird list.
