BIRDWATCHING
|
Belmont Wetlands State Park is a wonderful place to go birdwatching because seeing birds is easy, they are everywhere you look. The beauty of birdwatching is its free to be done anywhere and anytime you feel like it.
Watching birds can take on many different forms. For most people it is a relaxing pastime which allows them to head out into the fresh air and visit places they may not usually go. Some enjoy the freedom of solitude it can provide while others see it as a social experience, meeting with people who share a common interest. For others it is the lure of the chase which ignites their passion. Still others look upon birds as environmental indicators and use them to understand how the natural world is faring. _________________________________
September’s bird activity 🐦 at Belmont Wetlands State Park was up on the same month last year. Floral abundance has returned.
Nine-mile beach shorebird sightings by Park Rangers were limited this past month. Stormy weather ⛈️ has made beach driving hazardous by substantially changing the shape and sand density on fore dunes. Around the park many seasonal bird species have been reported and three breeding events 🐥 were also noted. A recent Belmont Lagoon survey indicated a strong return of woodland and wetland birds, the highest since pre-covid surveys.

The Belmont Wetlands State Park (BWSP) Birdwatching Walk held on 20th April 2023 was well attended despite the rainy conditions. 18 keen local birdwatchers set out to enjoy the free and informative walk around the northern area of BWSP. A big thanks to our local guides led by Grahame Feletti and BWSP staff who provided commentary on the birds spotted and local history of the area. Future events will be scheduled and timed around when migration occurs in the Park and will hopefully become a quarterly event. So watch out for the next one and come along.
