Having just received my latest TBN Newsletter and having nothing better to do I quickly counted where the activity was according to the calendar of events at the end: Victoria – 16 NSW – 7 SA – 7 Tasmania – 2 WA – 2 National – 1 Sorry if I have miss-counted the old eyes aren’t what they were. Why are birds so threatened in Victoria? Just saying…

Hi Chris, I was just going to turn the computer off, but curiosity made me have a look at it. Some of those events are community festivals, the Biodiversity Surveys is something new involving several councils in Melbourne’s east, and I guess the Orange-bellied Parrot and Regent Honeyeater numbers are so critical that it’s natural that surveys happen in their known part-time habitat. We’re probably the most densely peopled state for the area involved which means that we have more people to do things relatively conveniently with regard to travel, and on the negative side more effect on land and wildlife than more sparsely populated states, although that mightn’t be true. Maybe our much maligned climate makes us more active!!!! Sonja On 03/03/2015, at 5:34 PM, “Chris Lloyd” < pezoporus@bigpond.com> wrote:
