Come explore Shelly Road Park’s well-maintained trails, home to a diverse array of avian species. This walk provides an excellent opportunity for birders of all experience levels to document local fauna in a tranquil environment. We anticipate an exciting morning of sightings, with a particular focus on locating the Spectacled Warbler and observing the various birds of prey that utilise the park’s open corridors.
