Membership Benefits

Walks

 Regular (monthly) guided walks that satisfy the diverse requirements of the members, are arranged. The walks cater for new birders, young would be birders, old would be birders, serious birders and social birders. They normally end with a social breakfast event in the bush, so bring chairs and breakfast items. Once a year BLB stages a 'little' Big Birding Day where teams have 10  hours (12 midnight to 10am) to count as many birds as they can.
