FOR MANY OF US 2021 WAS ONE OF THE LONGEST YEARS EVER, WHILE FOR MANY OTHERS, INCLUDING BUSY BIRDERS, IT FLEW BY ALL TOO QUICKLY.
That being the case 2022 is here and BirdLife Australia has some good news for those of us who had to lockdown last year. Australia’s largest bird conservation charity is sharing some of Australia’s most beautiful birds with the world on their Birds on the Move 2022 calendar.

“For almost 10 years now, BirdLife Australia has been producing an annual themed bird calendar. All proceeds go towards our vital conservation work, helping protect Australia’s most threatened birds and their habitats through advocacy, targeted research, field work and monitoring. In 2022, we’re turning the spotlight on some of Australia’s mightiest and most threatened migratory bird species. This includes target species we’re working to protect, such as the Swift Parrot, Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo and Eastern Curlew,” said BirdLife Australia.

“This calendar features some of Australia’s best bird photographers – of all ages, backgrounds and experiences. Once we’ve decided on a theme and what species we want to highlight, I find the photos for the calendar on social media, on image hosting services and from previous entries to our annual BirdLife Australia Photo Awards. This year’s calendar includes a record number of female photographers and people of color,” they went on to say.
