Birds in our region with local twitcher Peter Sawyer S 24, Ep 35

Peter Sawyer is a Seymour resident with a passion for watching birds. Birds in town, on the Goulburn River and recently at Borroloola in the Northern Territory. On EarthChat, Peter Lockyer teases out some of the delights of Peter’s birdwatching, and of threatened species still about, and what we all could do to assist in their conservation. It's been a wet year and birdlife is abundant. You can find Rainbow Bee Eaters along the Goulburn River, or a Red-Browed Treecreeper on stringybark trees in the Tallarook Forest, or Wedge-tailed Eagles cautiously eyeing of smaller creatures and roadkill. Peter Sawyer’s interest in birds stems from a life outdoors and curiosity about what is out there.  Birdwatching is something you can do anywhere and is complementary to his other hobbies/passions of golf, cycling, kayaking, camping and fishing. With his brother Ron, Peter has made thousands of contributions to eBird and are credited with adding 2 birds to the Australian list as the first people to see these birds in Australia. BUT WAIT, THERE IS MORE! This month, EarthChat is giving away a copy of the wonderful book "Sand Talk" by Tyson Yunkaporta.
