Hi all
Over the last few days there have been 10-15 Common Bronzewings in a small
area of Sandringham - not bushland reserves.
We are trying to make a case for vegetation management to the Council and
industrialists so I would like to know about recent records of the species
in SE Melbourne.
Back in 1992 Damien Cook said Cheltenham Park was a prime site (with 10+
seen together) but I reckon they have now gone (poisoning of rabbits my best
guess but also mulching of key areas).
We have records of a few at several regional sites, maximum of 5 at
Yarra-Yarra Golf Course with others at Huntingdale, Braeside Park...
Please let me know about any other key sites in our area.

in the last 2 weeks. After the bread ?
