Birds are his passion and he is in great demand to lead walks like ours.<\/p>\n<p>Living locally, he spends a great deal of his leisure time making regular bird counts through the surrounding habitat. Hence his encyclopaedic knowledge of the birdlife on our Course.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, Hugh is Vice-President of BirdLife Australia and is President of Friends of Oxley Creek Common, a precinct near to the Club.<\/p>\n<p>He has held numerous academic, public service and not-for-profit positions. Notably, he was the founding Director of UQ\u2019s Centre for Diversity and Conservation Science. The Centre is known for applying maths to conserve biodiversity, gaining world-wide recognition for its modelling used for rezoning the Great Barrier Reef.<\/p>\n<p>For his achievements, Hugh has recently been elected a Fellow of the Royal Society, one of science&#8217;s highest honours internationally.<\/p>\n<p><strong>eBird<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Members can follow and enter their bird observations on the course in the following way:<\/p>\n<p>Google &#8220;eBird&#8221; in the first instance and register an account with the &#8220;Cornell Laboratory&#8221;.
