Flora

Not a lot to report, the season continues very dry.  The correa have just started to flower but that is all. There have been quite a few losses due to the lack of rain.

Fauna:

Shorter days mean that the evening walk is in the dark. There are plenty of Kangaroos and rabbits still about.  A large Seal was seen among the moored boats, plenty of Nankeen Night Heron to be seen fishing.  The Wright garden has been visited by two Painted Button Quail.  King Parrots, Gang Gangs, and Currawongs have arrived early this year.  Keep an eye open for Robins arriving soon.  A Yellow Rump Thornbill was reported by Graham Bailey.  From January1 to the end of March 101 bird species had been seen on the Island (earlier than usual). Pelicans are still absent.
