Hi everyone. You’ll have to excuse the dodgy iPhone photography.
Just been to Charles & Motee Rogers Bushland reserve with Friends of Escaprment Parks to see the work they are doing. Looked up at this ant nest- until it’s ear moved.
One of our lovely resident Highfields Koala just chilling. Right in the heart of town.
He was about 1 tree in from O’Brien road just north of the new library.
A reminder to slow down and keep a look out on O’Brien road where they cross.
Am looking at the idea of koala crossing signs
Have also had three confirmed sightings of the Powerful Owl back for another year, all in Highfields.
TRC
Parks Week starts this Saturday 4 March. A celebration of everything our parks and Bushland spaces have to offer.
We had just finished a walkthrough when I thought I saw an ant nest, right up high in the gum tree- until it’s ear moved.
Excuse the dodgy iPhone photography but it was great to see one of our local Koala just chilling in this Bushland reserve right in the heart of Highfields.
A valuable reminder to watch for them crossing on O’Brien road, but great to see a happy, local koala.
There have also been 3 confirmed sightings of Powerful owls in Highfields this season which is exciting.
For a full list of everything available for parks week, from bird watching to yoga head to:
Happy koala spotting
