We are excited to share a comprehensive report analysing bird observation data across Kedron Brook catchment since 2010. This detailed study, compiled through years of dedicated effort by volunteers, offers a fascinating look at bird life thriving in Kedron Brook catchment, in particular along waterway and its green spaces. Please find a copy of full report Bird Observation Data Report – Kedron Brook Catchment Branch 2010-2023.
We extend our thanks to author Dr Judy Neilson and contribution from Mary Rowland for support in putting paper together, who generously donated their time and expertise to collate, analyse and present this invaluable data.
Biodiversity data, like bird observations captured in this report, is a cornerstone of effective environmental stewardship. The Kedron Brook catchment is a vital urban ecosystem, supporting a rich variety of species that contribute to health of waterways, soils and air. Birds, as indicators of ecological well-being, tell us much about state of our environment. Tracking their presence, diversity and changes over time provides critical insights into habitat quality, impacts of urban development and success of restoration efforts.
This report not only celebrates diversity of birds in Kedron Brook catchment, but also equips community knowledge to advocate for their protection. From identifying key habitats to informing bushcare group restoration priorities, this data strengthens our vision to nurture a resilient and thriving catchment for future generations.
