The new year has started well at the reserve.
Just around the houses I've counted three Bellbird nests with at least two chicks each.
Another positive bit of news is that the fence preparation is in full progress.
A start has been made with clearing the actual fence location- very exciting after working towards it for all those years!
To make a start with the bird-release of species like Robins and native common reptiles we need to build a 1000 meters long predator fence in the neck of the peninsula. A diverting / restricting predator fence combined with a solar powered electrical fence. The cost of this fence is estimated at $30 per meter. We have secured funding for 835 meters and NEED TO RAISE $5153.31 to fund the last 165 meters. MAKE A DONATION / READ MORE
