Meet at 9:00 am on Collins Road. Turn into Collins Road and drive about 500 m from Brookton Highway and park on the left-hand side. The Collins Road turnoff is about 50 km from the junction of Brookton Highway and Canning Road, on the right-hand side coming from Perth. We will walk through this area of Wandoo woodland where 61 species have been recorded. This is thought to be the closest breeding site to Perth of Blue-breasted Fairy-wren. Also, this area has an abundance of Rufous Treecreepers and frequently seen birds include Crested Shrike-tit, Restless Flycatcher and Western Yellow Robin.
As there will be birds breeding here, members are asked to follow BirdLife guidelines regarding nesting birds.

Bring a chair and morning tea to have while the bird list is compiled.
