Just a footnote to the letter in todays Canberra Times
("Tree destruction", Mike Gilligan p. 16, CT Aug 25)
describing the felling of a further 8(?) Eucalypts in Corroboree
Park.
These included the very tall tree over the barbecue site which had
frequently been a nest site for ravens and hobbies. I think it was
last used by the Hobbies in 2007 when I took this shot of them beset
by currawongs.
The following year they used (following the ravens) the even taller
tree over the tennis courts - which was the first major Corroboree P
tree to be felled in December 2009.
No sign of the Hobbies since then. And we are also missing the
Frogmouths who used to nest regularly in the Park.
