Avid ornithologists or newbie birdwatchers are welcome to seek out treasures in an Oak Bay park lead by a Greater Victoria bird expert.
Friends of Uplands Park volunteer Geoffrey Newell is known for spotting the unexpected, having documented a female orchard oriole, rare to the region, in November 2023.
Newell leads monthly walks in the vast, and wildly popular with birds, Uplands Park in Oak Bay. The two- to three-hour walk general yields between 50 and 70 species spotted.
Newell's next monthly walk is July 27 at 9 a.m.
Those looking to join the fun can meet in the main parking lot at Cattle Point.
