Great Melbourne bat count tomoro night – meeting at 5:15 pm. Perfect bat counting weather predicted!

June 10, 2014Uncategorizedrvdr2013

The June grey-headed flying-fox count at Yarra Bend Park is almost upon us – tomorrow night in fact. we are meeting at 5:15 pm, at the car park for the yarra bend park golf course. It is an important count as it will confirm that approximately half of melbourne’s 40,000 have indeed left us for warmer climes!

I also need a couple of volunteers to head over to the freeway bridge – please send me an email if you are able to help out there. you can arrive there a little later – about 5:30 will be early enough.

Thanks – see you tomorrow night!

Greetings – the next bat count is wed 8^th Dec. We are meeting at 6:30 for a thank-you dinner for all the volunteers that have counted this year! we really appreciate your time and commitment, and ARCUE and DEPI would like to thank you with gourmet pizza and beer, wine and soft drink. This invite is for anyone who has counted this year, anyone who has intended to count but couldn’t quite make it, and also those for whom the December count is their first – all welcome and the more the merrier!! The party will be in a rotunda just next to the car park where we meet for the counts.

Please shoot me a quick email saying if you can make it, and if you have any dietary preferences. THANKS!!

Rod.
