Recognising your raptors

Leading raptor expert, Steve Debus, will be delivering a special presentation on the plight of birds of prey on the Northern Tablelands at the following Recognising your raptors field day.

The Birds of Prey project, delivered by Northern Tablelands Local Land Services, aims to halt the decline in local populations of the Little Eagle, the Square-tailed Kite, and the White-bellied Sea Eagle. Each of these birds of prey is now listed as a ‘threatened species’ in NSW which means their numbers are in decline to the point of being at risk of extinction in the long term.

This project is part of the $26.5 million of Catchment Action NSW. The field day will include a short indoor presentation,with most of the day then spent visiting known raptor habitat.
