24.01.2022 A big thank you to everyone who has liked our page recently - we now have over 100 likes which is great! While we are unable to meet for our monthly bushcare events, the wildlife in the wetlands have been busy - especially this Australasian darter with two chicks! One of the most rewarding parts about caring for the Berrinba Wetlands is seeing the next generation of wildlife being raised! ... Picture taken by Jim Argent.

24.01.2022 A great page to follow if you love the Berrinba Wetlands.

22.01.2022 Hi all, Bushcare is on this Sunday 7 May 2017 commencing at 8:00 am until 10:00 am. We will be weeding along Demeio Road. We will meet at the area of revegetation along Demeio Road.

21.01.2022 Hi everyone, We had a great Clean Up Australia Day at the Berrinba Wetlands and collected about 20 bags of rubbish! We also found some bones and saw some birds that I am hoping some can identify for me (apologies in advance about the quality of the photos!):... The first photo is of two jaw bones (not sure if lower or upper). The second, third and fourth photos are of a skull. The fifth and sixth photos are of a bird that has a beautiful shimmery blue-green body, brown wings and a long beak. This bird is on the smaller side. The seventh and eighth photos are of a tiny bird, with black/brown wings, a white body, yellow head and it had very distinct stripes on its head near its eyes. The last photo is of our efforts today! Thank you so much to everyone who came along and helped! Your efforts are greatly appreciated!

If it is raining on Sunday, bushcare will be postponed. If it has been postponed, I will post on this page at 7:30 am on Sunday to let everyone know.... See you on Sunday!

14.01.2022 Hi all, We had a great morning yesterday it was perfect weather for spotting wildlife! We spotted 33 species around the wetlands. The highlight of our morning was seeing 16 turtles sunning themselves on the banks of two different lakes. I'm pleased to see that Berrinba Wetlands has a good variety of bird species, but I would have loved to have seen more reptiles and insects!... Ive included a photo of some of the turtles if someone could ID the species of turtle for us, if its at all possible, that would be great! Also in the photo is a darter drying his wings! See you next month!
