23.01.2022 The truly amazing platypus.

23.01.2022 Leave that baby bird alone! Seeing a helpless baby bird stranded out of its nest tugs at the heart-strings of most people, but there is a simple messageleave that chick alone! Spring is a time when many birds breed, which inevitably results in plenty of fluffy chicks in the neighbourhood, and some of them give a good impression of being abandoned and helpless when they’re on the ground.... However, don’t be fooledyou should resist the urge to rescue the bird, because usually they don’t need your assistance at all. Most just need to be left alone, and removing a baby bird from its environment is not always in its best interests. People should ignore the ‘cute factor’ and dispassionately assess whether the bird really needs your help. Ask yourself these questions: Is the chick visibly injured? Is it in real danger of being killed or injured? If the answer is no, leave it aloneit’s the best thing to do. Sometimes baby birds land on the ground when they’re learning to fly, but that doesn’t mean that they need your assistance. Usually their parents are nearby, waiting to feed and look after their young once you’ve left the scene. If you find a nest that’s been blown onto the ground, replace it and its contents in a nearby shrub or tree so that the parent birds can continue to attend it. They will find it. If you find a young Tawny Frogmouth on the ground, simply replace it in a nearby tree. It’s the safest place for it. If you find a baby Masked Lapwing or plover on the ground, leave it where it is; after all, the ground is where they live. Its parents will be nearby (they’re probably swooping you right now). If you find a chick on the ground and it is: 1 - clearly unattended by its parents (watch this from a distance for some time so you’re not keeping them away); and 2 - it’s in imminent danger from cats, dogs or traffic; and 3 - it can’t be left in a safe place nearby: do not attempt to look after the bird on your own. Place it in a dark, warm, dry place (such as a cardboard box with plenty of air holes, and padding such as a towel inside), keep it safe from the family cats and dogs, and then contact your local wildlife rescue shelter or vet straight away. Remember, cute is not the same as helpless.

20.01.2022 Wildlife rehabilitators give blood, sweat and tears in their work with wildlife. At the Australian Wildlife Rehabilitation Conference in July 2018 in Sydney well over 100 volunteers from multiple states contributed to a study on Q Fever by offering blood samples. This report published November 2020 concludes that more work needs to be done to promote awareness of this disease and encourage vaccination of wildlife rehabilitators, one of the groups at risk of contracting Q ...Fever. https://www.sciencedirect.com//arti/pii/S2352771420302986

19.01.2022 They truly are remarkable creatures

13.01.2022 There is an emergence of fungal pathogen Nannizziopsis barbatae in free-ranging reptiles. The condition is caused by fungal pathogen Nannizziopsis barbatae (and is sometimes called ‘Yellow Fungus Disease’). It is well known in captive reptiles but has now also been identified in wild lizards in NSW and several other states. The lizards presented with extensive skin lesions, severe emaciation and loss of toes and tails. We remind you that only trained individuals should handl...e reptiles with suspicious skin lesions and appropriate PPE and handling measures should be employed. Please report suspect reptiles, or any unusual signs of illness of mortality in wildlife to the Animal Disease Watch Hotline on 1800 675 888.

09.01.2022 So great to hear. Australia Remastered airs on ABC TV and iview on Sundays at 6pm from August 30.

09.01.2022 The Saving Our Species program at DPIE have produced some wonderful short videos on how to #sharetheshore with beach-nesting birds, just in time for the October long weekend and start of the school holidays. The South Coast shorebird recovery program is designed to help threatened beach-nesting birds during their summer nesting period. The South Coast Shorebird Recovery Program has been working hard to help threatened beach-nesting birds through the summer nesting period since 1999. The program aims to reduce the rate of decline of threatened beach-nesting birds and recover populations by enhancing breeding success along the south coast of New South Wales.

06.01.2022 MidCoast Council is encouraging families and neighbours to pull together to prepare for bushfire season and to start a broader conversation about being prepared for all hazards, kicking off with NSW RFS Get Ready Weekend on 19-20 September. The 2019/20 bushfire season was the most devastating bushfire season in NSW and MidCoast regional history. We have seen our community really pull together to help each other recover from the impact of these fires, and that is ongoing, sa...id Mayor David West. I am sure that as a community, and as individuals, we will all make an extra effort this year, to ensure everyone is prepared and has a bushfire emergency plan. Make sure you note Get Ready Weekend on the calendar on 19 20 September, and help each other get ready. Local NSW RFS brigades will be throwing their doors open, or holding events to help you find information and Get Ready for the bushfire season ahead. Follow the link to read more
