Tuesday, December 08: Tufted Titmice continue to recover from their low numbers several years ago when West Nile Virus first entered the region. The nature centre feeders usally have titmice throughout the day and local residents are reporting this species visiting feeders on a regular basis.
Construction of the new nature centre is expected to begin in early March. Recently we have been moving some garden plants, locating underground services and taking soil samples in preparation for the work ahead. Plans for the new building are on dislpay at the centre.
