19.01.2022 What is a Mycologist? Someone who studies fungi. In this case, a local naturalist has used his knowledge and camera to good effect to uncover these two interesting fungi specimens found at Black Rock. For those with an appetite for names, John has found a pair of Mallee Drumstick Fungus, Battarrea phalloides Many thanks John for both your photography skills and your excellent spotting abilities.
14.01.2022 Good news regarding Tulip St Pond. We met with council representatives, 3 councillors and some other interested parties last week. Council has agreed to shift the new basketball courts to the west, preserving an adequate wildlife corridor and protecting the existing pond. They also responded very favourably to our suggestions regarding water use, habitat enhancement and wildlife-friendly construction management. Some trees will of course be lost, but it looks like we'll be able to minimise the loss of mature native trees. In fact, once the offset planting is included, we believe there'll actually be a net gain. We are optimistic this development will end up a win for both the basketballers and the wildlife.
09.01.2022 Wildlife Observations: Swans to Pied Cormorants from Brighton near Dendy Beach to Beaumaris from the clifftops, whilst inland at one of the heathlands, monitoring found our first microbats in one of FoNW Inc.'s own built bat boxes. As microbats may move their overnight stays frequently to keep mite infections low and predators on their toes, it is comfort to now have confirmation that our boxes are used along with an early one made by Ken many years ago. Photos by Rosa, one of our new waterbowl volunteers and Elizabeth.
08.01.2022 It's so easy to learn about our native ducks with Discover Ducks!
03.01.2022 Remember the Nankeen Kestrels nesting behind the spire cross in Bay Rd Sandringham a few decades ago? Well John has spotted one at Black Rock this weekend. They are seen infrequently these days but after sighting for two days we can only hope this particular bird likes the area enough to return and nest later this year-food, habitat and safety being priorities. Beautiful photo thanks John.
