According to a news cutting [from the 7.11.2003 edition of the Albany Extra?] I received in a package from the west, the translocated population of noisy scrub birds on Bald Island [at the eastern end of Two Peoples Bay] is now estimated to exceed 100 birds. In this year's NSB census, 53 males were heard defending territories, a significant increase on the 8 males translocated in 1992/93. Bald Island has the advantage of being free of exotic predators and is less fire prone than the mainland.

Regards, Laurie.
