Good news !

Swamped by short-term concerns for Homo sapiens, I saw no new report on the progress of this important Bill to preserve more of the Box-Ironbark woodlands of central Victoria, important for Regent Honeyeaters and Swift Parrots amongst other species.

It passed ! Third reading in the Victorian State Parliament upper house was on 18 October.

In the lower house my MP, Murray Thompson, mentioned yours truly (in relation to the records I have collated showing declines in the City of Bayside of Regent HE and Swifties) and another local resident who worked on the book "Local Birds of Bayside", Manfred Ruff. He and Anna now have a property they let in the Box-Ironbark area.

Sorry if this sounds self-promoting. But we - the birding community - did as well I reckon as we could have hoped. Grey-crowned Babblers got a mention too in what was a truncated debate following bipartisan agreement.

Hooray !

Michael
