For those COG members interested in this project I
provide the following update:
The Lyneham site is months from completion , no
access, security fencing, and eathworks unfinished. Area about 25 acres, some
trees and shrubs at southern end. Due to recent rain impoundment about
half-full and about 20 waterfowl present today including pacific, wood and
hardhead ducks ( 8 ). Other common birds present and a hobby falcon observed in
adjacent parkland.
The Dickson site is much further developed and the
fencing removed. It will be visited next Tuesday, 2/1/2012 by Messrs Bell
& Munro, plus anyone else so motivated starting about 0830. The actual
surveys are planned to start mid- January when ACT Government officer returns
from leave. Because of the close proximity of these sites and the convenience
factor bird counts are planned on twice monthly basis using the new reporting
forms.
Please ring Terry Bell 0427292298 if any other COG
member would like to participate
