That's
what they should do to the roo's here but charge the shooters. Make some
money out of a sustainable resource, help an ecosystem and the overall
environment all at the same time!
BTW
there's a swan on a nest at Jerra over the river from the Boathouse restaurant
and hospice or whatever is down there. There's also about
10 less 10 to 20lb carp in the flooded billabongs/channels.
Someone else had left carp on the bank and the dead fish were covered in 1000's
of European Wasps!!!!! So I put mine back in the water for the turtles to
munch on. A few Blackies about and only one pair of Teal.
Heard
Orioles from over Kelly swamp way - seemed to be in those Hickory Wattles
(A. implexa I think) around the big Banksia and Casuarinas looking
over Crake Alley. Also heard a Grey butcherbird and the Black Faced Cuckoo
Shrikes are still hanging out in the willows where they seem to love it for some
reason. Didn't hear a Grassbird, must have been concentrating on
looking for carp, but there were heaps of Cisticolas as usual. Plenty
of honeyeaters moving and I thought I heard a White-naped mixed in but not 100%
sure.
Next
time I'll remember my bins!!!!!!!
ARTICLE FROM THE
POST, NEWSPAPER, SUBIACO WA (Mosman park is a suburb of
Perth)
Public pressure
could see the numbers of Mosman Park ravens shot by sharpshooters reduced from
75 to 25.
Mosman Park CEO
Paul Anderson said the Department of Environment and Conservation was yet to
issue a licence but had indicated it might reduce the number originally
suggested (POST, 8/3).
He said he had
received many complaints about the decision to cull the
birds.
The council voted
to discuss all written complaints sent to the shire at its meeting in
April.
At its March
meeting the council voted to ask gun clubs to shoot the ravens on Mosman Park
golf course and in Buckland Hill.
