re. Silvereyes

["Betty Mitchell" <>]

Like Michael Norris, I too have noticed a decline in the number of
Silvereyes here on the southern Mornington Peninsula(Vic).
The decline in numbers here have coincided with the burgeoning viniculture
industry on the Mornington Peninsula. My observations are purely anecdotal
but nevertheless of great concern to me. Every spare plot of land on the
Mornington Peninsula has been given over to grapes, we are in danger of
becoming a monoculture.
Silvereyes naturally see grapes as an easy food resource and are paying the
price.
