Nature Notes
By tradition, the last item of business at our monthly meetings is Nature Notes where members are invited to
report on sightings of interest.
Parks Vic response
There has been a wonderful response to the Flora and Fauna Sighting forms for Parks Vic.
Remember - even common or exotic bird sighting are useful for mapping the rise and fall
of populations in an area. Keep filling them in and drop them off to the secretary at the general
meeting (or mail to PO Box 64, Rosanna 3084). Copies of the form can be picked
up at the General Meeting or mailed to people as they require.
