Mon 16 Dec 2024

Showcasing fifty-five hectares of some of Australia's best sub-tropical rainforest, Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve is one of the Sunshine Coast's must-visit destinations. This gem of remnant rainforest in the heart of Jinibara Country is a living, breathing menagerie of plants and animal life, an oasis of tranquillity and serenity.



Stop and listen! Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve is a haven for a variety of bird life. There are more than one hundred different species of birds that call Mary Cairncross home, all of them playing essential roles in the delicate ecosystem, whether it's eating insects, spreading plant seeds, turning the soil or raising their young.



Join bird enthusiast, Rob Kernot and a team of volunteers to help survey the Summer birds at the spectacular Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve. The team conducts regular seasonal bird surveys in the Scenic Reserve to monitor the different types and numbers of birds and how this changes with the different seasons.



The Summer Bird Survey takes place over 30 minutes on two sections of track. If you are familiar with local birds and their calls, it’s a bonus, but definitely not a requirement, to attend the Summer Bird Survey. Anyone with an interest in birds is welcome to join and a pair of binoculars (if you own a pair) will be very useful.



Numbers for the Summer Bird Survey are limited and even though it is FREE to attend, registration is essential.
Please meet in front of the Rainforest Discovery Centre at 6.45am - remember the early bird always catches the worm and the earthworms at Mary Cairncross are biggies!
