19–25 October – Celebrate National Bird Week
Posted on 14 October, 2013 by Connecting Country
As part of National Bird Week, BirdLife Australia is holding an online vote to determine which is Australia’s favourite bird. A list of 52 species have been shortlisted – all are species that people readily encounter.
Already over 2000 people have voted and so far the Australian Magpie and Superb Fairy-wren are neck and neck in the national poll while other birds are ahead of the flock on a state by state basis.
To see all the candidates and to vote, click here. (There are lots of special birds that occur in the Mount Alexander Region amongst the candidates – the Swift Parrot got my vote. Go Swifty! Chris from Connecting Country).
