After many weeks of dry, hot weather the water level in our existing wetland dropped considerably and the easy fishing tempted a Great Billed Heron away from Barratt Creek. The Magpie Geese have been regular visitors for several weeks, often flying in at first light to spend the day eating the water lily corms.
WILD WINGS & SWAMPY THINGS
Now that our major restoration projects are complete we are taking more time to simply enjoy the privilege of living in such a beautiful, peaceful and endlessly interesting area. While there are always a few maintenance tasks the work is not onerous and we can take time out to enjoy our walking tracks as well as to sit and simply look around. It is immensely rewarding to observe the growth in the vegetation, watch trees mature and to delight in the variety and number of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish and insects both residing on and visiting the property.-
