Water, Sea & Shore Bird Training - Practical Course

When: Saturday, 13 September 2025 Time: 9.00-3.30pm Location: Cleaning table & boat ramp on The Parade at North Haven.

Any member holding a category 8 Rescue authority can rescue and care for these birds, providing one has an appropriate holding facility and training. The reasons we see these birds coming into care can include weather conditions, ingesting foreign matter, fishing tackle, collisions and botulism.

What to bring/wear:

Appropriate clothing, closed non slip footwear, hat, towel, sunscreen, sunglasses, drinking water etc. (This is an outside venue) Bring morning tea and lunch or you may buy across the road.

This training is a follow up to the Water, Sea & Shore Bird training which was held on 8 February at Lake Cathie. This training is for members to monitor, assess and assist any shore birds in need along the area.
