Well David, the answer is yes. It is still worth going to look at though. Bush regenerates quite well. As for Satin
Bowerbird, well you can come and have a look at my compost heap in my backyard. Last week I had about four of them but none so far this week. Most suburbs around Weston Creek and west side of Kambah would have lots of them (well - twos or threes) in the vicinity of most gardens. Maybe not every day. As for Lyrebirds well I thought at last count there was only one left in the whole of Tidbinbilla. Chris Davey & Peter Fullagar organised those surveys. I have been to Kambah Pool several times this autumn. All years up till winter 2002, they could be heard singing from across the river but I don't think any have survived. I haven't heard them since.
