BirdLife Australia Mornington Peninsula Branch began as an entity in May 1983 under the name of the Peninsula Bird Observers Club and in 1985 affiliated with BOCA originally, Bird Observers Club of Australia later changed to Bird Observation and Conservation Australia .
Finally, last year BOCA merged with Birds Australia, a like organization, establishing BirdLife Australia with a combined membership of over 10,000.
Our branch, Birdlife Australia Mornington Peninsula has a current membership of over 200.
Every month we have two outings to a multitude of locations on the peninsula ranging from better known venues such as Coolart, The Briars, Greens Bush, Langwarrin Fauna Flora Reserve, Jacks Beach, Devil s Bend Reservoir to lesser known reserves such as Woodland Tuerong, Sweetwater Creek Reserve, Endeavour Gully Reserve to name just a few.
In addition we are also actively involved in education and conservation issues.
Some of our members are involved in bird monitoring including such species as the Hooded Plovers , under threat, on the peninsula ocean beaches.
