Hi Michael,
I spend most of my available time around Beaumaris, at least
3 times a week I take a early morning walk between Charman Rd and Ricketts
Point.
I have seen quite interesting sightings and I was waiting for the end of
this month so I
could send a bird list to Birding-Aus.
This is what I have in my list for this month:
- 4 Hoary headed Grebes ( 1 at Ricketts Point other 3 near Beaumaris hotel)
- 6 Galahs, (one on the rocks , one with it feet in the water!)
- 2 Black Swans
-2 Caspian Terns
-1 Comic Tern (White fronted or Common Tern, I believe it is a
white-fronted, because common terns usually don't come here this time of the
year, but we never know...)
- Brown Goshawk (in front the Beaumaris hotel sitting on an electric post,
inside the yatch club)
-Singing Honeyeater (between Mordialloc and the Mentone Hotel)
-2 Pacific Black Ducks
- and the usual "chooks" (Pelican, gulls, etc.)
Mammals
A carcass of a swamp rat at the Braeside park (That I have been visiting
every Saturday for the past month)
Echidna (Braeside)
Fox scats ( on Chelteham Park)
Mouse (New Holland or Domestic? Art Trial )
Dolphins (bottle nose?) (the very end of Mentone Beach and than near the
Oyster farm)
Lizards
Blue Tongue ( Literally on the middle on Charman Rd. I took it and put back
in
Cheltehan park)
I'll keep in touch.
Kind Regards
Alex
