There were also several European Wasps hanging around the footbridge over
Jerrabomberra Ck today and a large Brown Snake further towards the silt
trap.

RE: [canberrabirds] raven cull
[SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
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.
