New Life in Bold Park

September is peak wildflower season in Bold Park, with many orchids and other flowers blooming as the weather warms up. Reptiles are also emerging from their winter retreats with lots of bobtail lizards seen soaking up the increased sunlight.

All this activity provides increased food for our local birds, many of which breed at this time of year when there is plenty to feed their growing chicks. From the honeyeaters feeding at flowers, fantails and pardalotes searching for insects and goshawks soaring while looking for larger prey, there are plenty of birds that can be seen as they look for food.

Prepare for your walk:

• Approximately 1.5 hours duration.
