Cat Containment
From 1 July 2023 cats need to be contained to their owners’ property at all times. All animal welfare agencies agree that this reduces the risk of injury and disease and is in the best interest of these much-loved pets. It has been shown that cats live a longer, happier life when contained 24/7. For further Information please contact Bass Coast Shire or go to Cat Containment | Bass Coast Shire
A great win for cats and their care! 🐈 A great win for our environment too! 🦜🌿🪺

Avian influenza is a danger for migratory birds this season, and also for non-migratory birds here as the migratory species return from the northern hemisphere in spring.Our Worry for Red
Since 2021 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) has been circulating in wild birds. It has spread from Europe to North America, to South America and, just like COVID hit us, it is expected to reach every continent on Earth, including Antarctica. So far Australia and Oceania have been spared. But Red and his flock, and all the other migrants, are flying straight towards one of the epicentres. It is a scary prospect for the migrants themselves but also for all our resident birds, including domestic poultry, when they return in the spring.
These are snow geese. Thousands were found dead over the North American winter.

Farewell to our Red-necked Stints and other migratory birds!
Thanks goodness for our marvellous wetlands. They are important feeding grounds for migrating birds. 👏🏼
Thank you for documenting this beautiful little bird ❤️
Tonight’s the night! These little fluff balls are fledging and ready to migrate. We can help by turning off our external lights for the next few nights to help the migrating Short-tailed Shearwater chicks safely on their way. Some will find their way onto our roads, so please drive slowly and keep a lookout. 💚 More info here: bit.ly/42swZBw
