Birds on Farms – autumn 2024 survey. OFF members Geoff, Graham and Liz have just done the third bird survey on Vince Heffernan’s property, Moorlands. As expected, not as many birds were seen as on the spring survey last year. Highlights included flocks of migrating Yellow-faced Honeyeaters, and at least three Peregrine Falcons – perhaps not unrelated? The plantings were flourishing; some that suffered during dry conditions last year had recovered and shot up above the grasses.Around the woolshed and shearers’ quarters, the ground was alive with small birds – Yellow-rumped Thornbills, Red-browed Finches, Superb Fairy-wrens, Southern Whitefaces, and House Sparrows – and overhead, Welcome Swallows were skimming back and forth.Sutherland Shire Environment CentreGeorges RiverkeeperGeorges River Council BushcareGeorges River TreesProject Penshurst 2222 … See MoreSee Less

Councillors joined residents at Beale Park, Peakhurst yesterday to celebrate the successful retention of the FSPA. It was a huge victory for the environment and we thank Georges River Council for talking into account the hundreds of submissions received from residents who overwhelmingly wanted the FSPA controls retained and improved, and for block sizes to remain unchanged. Thank you to the Councillors who supported the residents!!!!!Special thanks to Councillor Peter Mahoney: Peakhurst Ward – Georges River Council – he worked hard to fulfill his election promise to save the FSPA👍Councillor Christina Jamieson: Mortdale Ward – Georges River CouncilCouncillor Natalie Mort: Georges River Council – Blakehurst WardDeputy Mayor Elise Borg – Georges River CouncilCouncillor Ash Ambihaipahar – Georges River CouncilCouncillor Kathryn LandsberryProject Penshurst 2222Kogarah Bay Progress Association IncLugarno Progress Association – LPAGeorges RiverkeeperSave Glenlee LugarnoGeorges River AssociationSutherland Shire Environment Centre … See MoreSee Less
