Hi
I admire young people who follow theor passion for birding in Australia. It
must be a bit lonely out there.
Just a couple of ideas:
Get involved with the Pledge2Fledge program. You never know who you might
convert. If you do it through your school there is quite some potential. The
school might really appreciate you sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm.
Be in touch with your local council...sometimes they get to know who is out
there locally. They might run fauna surveys where you can meet others or be
Iinvolved in other events or programs.
Cheers
Arwen
