Hi everybody -
This year, and especially this winter, I have
been seeing many more Black-shouldered Kites and Kestrels around the Bellarine
Peninsula (c.100 km sw of Melbourne, Vic) than in the previous three years I
have been living here, so some recent regional rise in mouse numbers
is plausible. A roadkilled Barn Owl was also seen here recently.
One question that arises is whether the bs Kites and Kestrels have come
from elsewhere or bred up locally. Has anybody else been noticing an
increase of mouse-eating predators?
Cheers,
Hugo
