Warrnambool Coastcare Landcare Update - Middle Island penguin Monitoring

Hello and welcome to 2009! I trust everyone had a fantastic Christmas
and New Years.

We certainly had a nice surprise at our last count on December 16,
during which we counted 80 Little Penguins. This is the highest number
of arrivals recorded on the island since 2001/2002, suggesting that
the colony is indeed bouncing back after severe fox predation in
recent years. A big thank you to everyone who attended the count.

Our next count will be held on Wednesday January 14th, meeting at 8:30
pm at Stingray Bay car park. If you'd like to attend, please let me
know via email or phone (0355623851) before the day. Due to safety
issues we can't accept latecomers after the group has crossed to the
island.

Please note my new email address - kristieking14@yahoo.com.au; also,
if you've had a change of email or would like to be removed from this
mailing list, please let me know. Thanks.

Cheers,

Kristie.
