Ever wondered whose guttural cough wakes you up every morning? Or who's 'hoo-hoo'ing through the night? What about these?

'auk-auk' ... 'ow-ow' ... 'yap' ... 'karr' ... 'pee-pit, pee-pit, pee-pit' ... 'pink-pink' ... 'oom-oom-oom' ... 'sleep baby' ... 'tonk-tonk-tonk' ... 'egypt' ... 'jock-widd-ee' ... 'chereer-chereer-chereer' ... 'wee-wee-ee-ee-ee' ....

These wonderful calls and melodies surround us all the time. 

TEN's popular walkabout series is back, with a walkabout planned for each month of Spring, beginning with ... a bird walk!

Join passionate naturalist and local resident, Simon Grove, for a morning walk looking at, and listening to, Taroona's diverse and abundant birdlife. 

Bring binoculars and a bird book -  or if you're techno-savvy - the Parks latest app "Bird in the Hand" on your i-phone/i-pod-i-pad. 

Meet rain or shine, and dress appropriately for the weather.

This walkabout is suitable for everyone.

Hope to see you there ... 'auk-auk'!
