Hi All,

I've been asked to make a request to all birders (Australia and World-wide) who have visited the designated faunal protection area around Samsonvale Cemetery (Joyner's Hill, Gold's Scrub Lane and Kobble Creek BBQ area, Samsonvale SE Qld) in search of rarities (such as King Quail, Red-backed Buttonquail, Grass Owl and other important grassland species) to supply details of species seen etc. It appears that last week a permit was granted by the SEQ Waterboard to cut the grassland in these area to prevent the onset of a bush-fire (unfortunately the contractors actually caused a large one which probably resulted in the loss of nesting species from the large area of grassland across the lake from the cemetery!) Apparently the authorities concerned were unaware of the abundance of rare species that inhabit the area and have asked us to supply evidence that they do occur there and they will take steps to change the fire-reduction strategy to prevent this happening in the future. At this time I would appreciate lists of species seen with dates etc to be sent to Marie and I for collation. Look forward to hearing from you,
Tom
