Went to Towra Spit Botany Bay on Monday with Darryl
Mckay and Sally Weeks to do our weekly survey on the nesting Little Terns
only to find that some people have been on the island a day or so before and
have destroyed a large number of nest. There was a number of tracks of dogs,
children and adults and a number of nest tags have been pulled out plus eggs
have been moved about as well. Last week 28 chicks were banded however only four
chicks were observed on Monday. This is only the latest in a number of attacks
on Little Terns within NSW this year and I believe that more should be done
by government, NPWS and local bird clubs to curb this trend towards the
loss of Little
Terns.
Regards Terrill
