On the subject of landscape hair-cuts - the harvesting of the mature
pines on Dunrossil Drive (Yarralumla Gov House end) was proceeding
apace this morning.

Morning survey at Maza Place ponds in Bonner turned up a 31
Grey Teal and a first, a Red-kneed Dotterel. Around the ponds I
noticed stumps at ground level then saw that all the acacias had
been stripped. The acacias were the dominant shrub up to 4 m and
the remainder looked like a bad haircut. There seemed to be no
logic in this action as the plantings were about 5 years old.
Common Bronzewings from Mulligans Flat used the site for ground
feeding. What could have prompted this action?
