All About Bird Watching-Hawke’s Bay

Bird Watching-Hawke’s Bay is a dedicated club for enthusiasts passionate about observing and studying New Zealand's birds. All are welcome to join our community, where we foster a shared appreciation for avian life through hands-on activities. Our core focus includes monitoring the Blowhard Bush DOC reserve, a vital habitat for local species, and organising twice-yearly wader censuses at scenic locations around Napier, Waitangi Estuary, Clive, and Porangahau. These efforts help track bird populations and support conservation in the region. We also host evening meetings, providing opportunities to discuss observations and learn from fellow members—simply email Bernie Kelly for more details on times and topics. As a hobbies and special interests club centred on bird watching, we emphasise practical engagement that suits everyone interested in nature.
