Good morning Field Nats
Have you undertaken any bird surveys at Ryans lagoon? We are currently working with Ben Humphries to start getting a record of what is there but any historical date would be very useful to help us to retore habitat.
You would be most welcome to visit the lagoon for one of your outings, if interested please reply to my contact details.
kind regards
