With forty-seven species sighted in the Park on a bleak day, the surveyors were happy. The highlight was observing a total of five raptor species: Little eagle, Brown falcon, Black-shouldered kite, Brown goshawk and Nankeen kestrel. (The Black-shouldered kite was spotted in 2nd Heath a few days later by the VNPA walking group, photographed above.)
The familiar Welcome swallows flying amongst the trees and pathways seemed bolder and more numerous than normal and breeding Spotted pardalotes underlined the value of our park to biodiversity.
