Only Phil and I  ventured forth on the early sumner season bird survey. Swamp harrier and two cormorants were the birds of note for the day. Lots of LBB amongst the shrubs in ImLal South.

Cassinia out in force – even witnessed three impressive clumps in ImLal North (pictured). Also pictured below are the poa grass clumps  in ImLal North.

Thirsty months for the plants since   over 3,000 put in at the beginning of October on bionic, forestry flat and footy field (aka direct seeding area on ImLal South). Phil pictured on the biolink. He has watered many of them twice since the planting day on Sunday 4 October.

Have had a 60-70% survival rate overall, although the Turkish oaks have had an 80% attrition rate.

Plants on W side of embankment looking particularly healthy.

    Gib Wettenhall is interested in how  we carry out large scale landscape restoration that involves the people who live in those landscapes. That, he  believes, would build truly resilient landscapes.
