A signature bird of FC is the boisterous and dancing Buff-rumped Warbler — we will undoubtedly hear one or two and, with some luck, see them waggling their buffy rumps!

This is nesting season so we will be on the lookout for birds carrying nesting material or food for their young. It is a glorious time of year so come enjoy it with us!

After the walk, we can head to the Mottola Bakery for coffee and a social visit. Hope to see you there.

Another signature bird of FC: the infamous Hybrid Teal!
