Organic/Biological methods we use

Quarterly bird surveying with Birds Australia – EcoGipps has 13 survey sites which are all monitored at each survey event. We spend 20 minutes at each site, recording all bird sightings. This is a fantastic way to enhance your bird recognition skills and explore our properties. The survey events are usually held at the beginning of each season.
