15.01.2022 Learn the basics of the very satisfying craft of spinning yarn from wool on a traditional spinning wheel. A process which gets you finding your rhythm and inner calm. Tabitha will have you producing your very own fibre to knit or crochet with. $32 Saturday 17th April - Ephemeral Festival More details here: https://www.panboola.com/workshopsephemeral2021... A very special opportunity - Participants will learn about wool types, how to draft wool, and how to spin yarn on a wheel. Tabitha has nearly thirty years experience spinning wool and other fibres including camel, rabbit, silk, and cotton. She grows her own wool from her 86 mixed breeds of assorted coloured, rescued, and pre-loved sheep on Tabandy Farm in Candelo NSW. Tabitha sends her wool away for processing to Victoria and is a member of the Australian Fibre Collective which gives guarantees that her wool is 100% grown, processed, and manufactured in Australia. There will be an opportunity to purchase a second-hand wheel at a special price on the day to take home to continue your spinning journey. This workshop is supported by Bega Valley Shire Council through Bega Valley Regional Gallery. Tabandy Farm

15.01.2022 Introducing the East Asian-Australasian Flyway Thirty-seven species of migratory shorebird visit Australia each year. Both Latham’s Snipe and Sharp-tailed Sandpiper are two migratory species that visit Panboola over the Spring and Summer months. These species carry out some of the most incredible migrations in the natural world. Each year, they journey many thousands of kilometres along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway between Australia and breeding grounds in the northern... hemisphere. Australia’s coastal and freshwater wetlands provide vital habitat for these birds during their non-breeding season. Migratory shorebirds must increase their body weight by up to 70 per cent to build sufficient energy reserves to travel the long distance back to their breeding grounds. All along the EAAF shorebird habitat is being subjected to a broad range of threats including climate change with expected sea level rises, increased temperatures, and more frequent extreme weather events further squeezing coastal habitats for migratory shorebirds. As some migratory waterbird populations decrease, there is a growing need to minimise threats to the remaining habitats that are critical for their ongoing survival. Hence the importance of the role Panboola plays as a vital Summer time feeding/fattening ground. https://www.birdlife.org//8_East_Asia_Australasia_Factshee #scienceweek #scsf2020 #panboola

09.01.2022 What a fabulous shot of Smiths Lookout - thanks Sally Mills for sharing!

09.01.2022 The State of Australia Birds report series presents an overview of the status of the nation’s birds, the major threats they face and the conservation actions needed. The fifth annual report focuses on climate change Studies have looked at the impact of climate change on the timing of migration and breeding in the Snowy Mountains. Many bird species (including the Australasian pipit which is found at Panboola) are now arriving in the alpine zone several weeks before they did i...n the 1970’s and they are breeding earlier. What might happen if the resources needed for breeding are not available when they arrive? Species that breed at higher altitudes, such as the Gang-gang Cockatoo, may be declining, consistent with shrinkage in the area suitable for breeding as temperatures rise. https://www.birdlife.org.au/documents/SOAB-2007.pdf

09.01.2022 A happy new year to all our supporters, friends, volunteers and visitors! Panboola has never been busier. It's been wonderful to see so many people making use of the space here, connecting with nature, picnicking, birding, biking and so much more! Panboola is yet another element that make Pambula so special and we are very proud to contribute to the village vibe!

08.01.2022 According to a report by Charles Darwin University on Climate change adaptation strategies for Australian birds many birds that we currently see at Panboola are at risk from the effects of climate change. The Darter, Australasian Shoveler, Hoary-headed Grebe and Black-fronted Dotterel have been rated as most sensitive to climate change in the ‘Inland waters’ habitat class. The Southern Emu-wren is a species that has been identified as likely to be exposed to increases in the... frequency and intensity of fires as a result of climate change. This special little bird is found at Panboola and is considered a ‘lifer’ for many keen bird observers. #scienceweek #scsf2020

06.01.2022 Did you know that bird surveys have been taking place at Panboola for the past 20 years! Members of the Far South Coast Birdwatchers group meet quarterly to observe and record as many species as possible. Recently the data from all these surveys was complied into a report that demonstrates the significance of Panboola to threatened and migratory species which is likely to be of national importance. The first survey in 1997 observed 32 bird species. To date we have recorded... 173 different bird species present at Panboola Panboola has long been thought to be an important wetland for a number of threatened and migratory species. The dataset reveals a total of 29 threatened or migratory species have been recorded at Panboola. It's not just us human folk that think Panboola is a pretty special place!! https://e504f45d-2415-4748-9cfe-d363869b74b2.filesusr.com/ #scienceweek #science #panboola

06.01.2022 Sonia's patience paying off!

06.01.2022 Beautiful light with this juvenile Brown Falcon? sitting amongst the Autumn leaves at Panboola this afternoon.

06.01.2022 Become a citizen scientist!! Citizen science helps enormously to improve Australia's capacity to understand how we are being affected by climate change and how we can adapt and it improves our capacity to make positive changes. Entering your sighting via Naturemapr helps us understand where birds are and what they are doing. Over time this will build a larger dataset that will help the community see how these populations are doing. Conservation actions can then be undertaken ...if needed. Your contribution to our knowledge and understanding of these species is highly valued. Sightings can be recorded at https://atlasoflife.naturemapr.org #scienceweek #science #panboola

06.01.2022 Today we held the annual Bird Olympics at Panboola where we participated in the Aussie Backyard Bird Count. So glad these little ones made a showing to be included in the count! #birdnerds #AussieBirdCount #NationalBirdWeek #panboola #bourndabirdolympics

05.01.2022 The latest stunning addition to the Panboola landscape! Many thanks to artist Mark Thompson for his generous donation. Mark drew creative inspiration for this piece after recently spending time working at Panboola whilst he and his team constructed our newest pathway. We think he's one talented fella!!

04.01.2022 Looks like someone is having some school holiday fun at Panboola with the NSW Rocks hide and seek game! These 3 have been left in place for somebody to find and rehide and I'm sure there are lots more out there
