Hi Hugo

All three of the species you mention have been around Bayside, including the 
foreshore, this year.   In fact all have occurred in the foreshore every 5 
years: 1995,  2000, 2005.  Not many records of both kites and kestrels since 
2002.
We haven't been surveying rodents much in 2005 but there seemed to be 
unusually high numbers of both black and brown rats earlier in the year. No 
one has mentioned mice numbers being high.
