Hi all
Does anyone know a good mailing list or site to discuss this issue and learn
about remedies ?
Being a Pom in Melbourne I think Andrew Hobbs and Michael Hunter are right
about the effects of our urban structure and English bird behaviour being
more obvious. But here we also have a pioneer mentality of conquering the
bush.... As a local pollie I face demand for "pristine beaches" which, to me
means seaweed, shells... and to them means cleansed sand and footprints all
over.
How to get people's interest, get them to be informed, and then be involved
is a long road. I recently gave some talks on local biodiversity to Year 9s
and what grabbed their attention was when I asked them if they had seen
those large blue wasps....

PS a Rufous Whistler in a mixed insectivorous flock the other day was the
first for 4 years: the longest gap between records since I've lived in
Bayside.
