Newsletter 008 March 1994

 FRIENDS OF CHILTERN PARK ,
Convenor: E.Collins 057 261 484
Newsletter No. 8 March 1994
Dear Friends,
Our “stag watch” efforts are not being rewarded! However the “possum prowl” more than made up for the lack of wildlife in the hollows.
Fifteen members enjoyed a ‘bush ramble, some plant identification tests and bird watching. Although the Long-leafed Box is coming into flower few honeyeaters were seen. The record wet – summer has helped the park to remain green and some Chocolate Lilies were still sporting flowers. Sharp eyed Judy found an early Gnat Orchid, Acianthus exsertus. As the name implies the flowers are very small and in tones of reddish brown blending perfectly with the ground cover.
A large Cootamundra Wattle was removed from All Nations Road and scattered ancient junk was piled ready for collection on ‘Clean Up Day’.
Tea was shared at Cyanide Dam. The aroma of barbecued mushrooms and onions filled the air. The evening was mild and calm as we set off for the “stag trees”. By the time we returned to the dam the moonless sky was sparkling with stars and the children were anxious to prowl. Two Ringtail Possums were the first sightings followed by a Kookaburra perched on a bare branch along Cyanide Road. Just above the Kookaburra sharp eyed Sally spotted  movement in the canopy and to everyone’ s delight a Feather-tailed Glider put on quite a show as it foraged in the flowers of the Long-leafed Box.
Further down the track more eyes then revealed a Squirrel Glider clinging to a bare branch and looking down at us showing its cream under-belly and white-edged gliding membrane. As it turned to scamper up the branch the long, thick tail hung down giving a great view. Next came two Sugar Gliders feeding in the blossom. As the spotlights were focused lower several Swamp Wallabies, a Fox, and some Grey Kangaroos were picked up.
The mild evening brought out hordes of insects so it was open season for the many bats. There were two sizes of bat. Since no one had any bat I.D. skills I can only list a few of the bats that have been recorded in the Cyanide area by the bat banders.
– The Chocolate Wattled Bat. This bat emerges about 20 minutes after sunset to feed mostly on moths.
– Gould’s Wattled Bat. This bat forages below the tree canopy in woodland and seldom flies more than 20 metres above the ground. Ref: Australian Mammals.
The smaller bats were probably Little Forest Bats, of which there are three kinds.
Our spotlight walk was certainly very productive and educational as well as being highly sociable. There were requests for repeats so we’ ll see what we can organise.

CLEAN UP AUSTRALIA DAY ,
This followed hard on the heels of our meeting but that didn’ t deter 16 members from putting in four
hours hard work. The Howlong Road, the Park and the Underpass were the targets. Six large trailer loads of rubbish were removed. Thank you to all who attended.
