Hi All,
Further to my message earlier this week advising of
changes to the Toorbul roost...........
I have just returned from doing a wader survey of
the three Toorbul roosts, which I have undertaken on a weekly basis in order to
document the uptake rate of the new roost. Workmen were planting on the
surrounding mound, and no birds were on the new roost.
Three residents who live close to the roost
came over to tell me that the birds have already accepted the new roost. The
residents were over the moon, filled with pride. They said the
birds are using it in large numbers and often. I find this quite
astonishing. I thought we would have to wait several months until the birds
accepted it. Now I am waiting for the pictures they took for me to prove
it.
Isn't that fantastic????????
Cheers,
Jill
