Harry 1985?-2007

["martin butterfield" <>]

My guess is that were either of these events reported to the either the police or CNP absolutely nothing would happen due to "shortage of resources".  

 

Sandra's report does suggest that a working bee to make a median strip in the car park by rolling a few of the large rocks around might prevent a recurrence.  However it won't bring Harry back.

they certainly aren't. I was at Jerrabomberra Wetlands yesterday afternoon around 5.30 when 3 cars driven by young men came into the Dairy Rd carpark, spent ten minutes tearing around in circles raising huge amounts of dust while one stood and videoed the whole stupid episode, then left, only to return 5 mins later and do the whole thing again.  I was concerned they would actually hit one or more of the parked cars, but not brave enough to confront the louts, who left again after another 10 minutes of skidding around.

between the clouds of dust coming over Kellys, saw 2 Latham's snipe, 2 freckled ducks, 3 pink-eared ducks, an Australasian grebe, as well as the usual species. black shouldered kite was hovering over crake alley.

The street peacock of 14 years standing was killed yesterday by 2 (twentyish) male persons who drove on the verge on the wrong side of the street at high speed to get him, then drove off laughing.  Harry, struck down in full plumage, was a great character.



They're not all mild-mannered birdwatchers out there.
