A SCHOOL TO BE PROUD OF
Item from The Preservation Times Vol.12 Issue 3 - Spring

A message from Marcus Singor of Birds Australia (msingor@iprimus.com.au)

We have colour banded 27 Hooded Plover in Yalgorup National Park and are keen to hear from anyone who has seen one.
We do need the exact location preferably with GPS reading. Otherwise a good location description.
The birds will have four bands: one metal and three colour, two bands on each leg e.g. a red band over a metal band on right leg and, say, an orangeband over a yellow one on the left leg.

We are trying to track the movements of Hooded Plover and any sightings outside Yalgorup would be of great interest. Of course we are interested in any sightings or reports of Hooded Plover and are always on the look out for regular surveyors.

You can contact Marcus with the above e-mail.
For more pictures and details go to: Regional Bird Life and Other Creatures: Bird Lists etc.

WANTED -Dead or Alive! Invasive Mole Crickets

Gryllotalpa australis (a native of eastern Australia)
Mole crickets, it seems, have become much more common in Perth gardens over the last few years and some are proving to be a nuisance. According to householders, the insects run rampant in vegetable gardens or in lawns, drown in swimming pools or enter houses. Their natural habit is to burrow in soil using their adapted fore legs. The images shows a species introduced to Western Australia from eastern Australia, probably in deliveries of sheep manure. A scientific research project is currently being conducted to investigate the impact of introduced mole crickets and how they interact with species native to W.A. Please get in touch with Graeme Christie on
(08) 9582 9148 if you have encountered mole crickets, have some specimens or know where to find them.

The PPG Logo was produced by local print-maker Lesley King-Dowding, using the lino-cut medium. It shows the Straw-necked Ibis preening, with Coopers Mill in the background, whilst examples of Banksia menziesii complete the scene.
The photograph of Red Templetonia was taken by Sue Grayling. The pictures of Pelicans on Lake Goegrup and Tuart trees were digitised from video camera by Sybil Smith,
