Hunter Bird Observers Club
Formed in 1976, the Hunter Bird Observers Club (HBOC) is the largest club in the Hunter Region that caters specifically for those with an interest in bird life in its natural habitat. We meet the second Wednesday of every month except January, at the Hunter Wetlands Centre (see Contacts section for a map) and visitors are welcomed. Also we have a regular program of field activities for members and visitors.

The Club has two objectives
With well over 400 members, the club encompasses people of all ages and levels of experience. It is a very active club with a full calendar of events, a bimonthly newsletter, and interests in research (field studies) and conservation. Those who are keen to see new birds are also well catered for, with the Club’s Hunterbirding internet forum regularly supplying breaking news about where uncommon or rare birds have been seen within the Region.
