Judy was introduced to birdwatching when she was a child by her Grandmother. This began a life-long love of bird watching but it wasn't until 2009 that she got her first set of binoculars.

Today, Judy holds an A-Class bird banding licence and is an active member of the Hunter Bird Observers Cub. She explains how the birds are caught and banded, what are the common threats to birds and bird habitat and the important role that bird banding plays in the scientific study of birds.
