The second spot has potential but I've been in there;the habitat looks good but strangely there are hardly any birds in there.Greg Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17128471435023525995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4708258683294269863.post-75623065596670643842016-02-16T04:44:36.287+10:002016-02-16T04:44:36.287+10:00This comment has been removed by the author.Greg Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17128471435023525995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4708258683294269863.post-40664860411893025662016-02-15T20:51:43.071+10:002016-02-15T20:51:43.071+10:00it turns out its in an eco reserve, which seems to...it turns out its in an eco reserve, which seems to be inaccessible due to lack of tracks, but I will attach a link to the location in google maps: https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-26.4832716,153.0556114,2998m/data=!3m1!1e3 Another Highly notable location looks quite similar to the yandina creek wetlands, and is close to a highway. link here: https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-26.5550789,153.0740437,1498m/data=!3m1!1e3 your work in helping the yandina creek wetland was increadible, and you should feel proud to have made such a big impact on the bird community there.olliescully1@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09959493171483570357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4708258683294269863.post-28563656177727877872016-02-09T08:03:48.969+10:002016-02-09T08:03:48.969+10:00When was your Spotted Crake?

I also wrote a blog about Parklakes and after a couple of visits I saw my first Spotted Crake there. It seems they were aware how much praise they were getting and despite this they choose to destroy the wetlands. Thank you for alerting the community to these latest developments. I will update my blog post to reflect this sorry state of affairs.<br />National Park Odysseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16530122590718524884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4708258683294269863.post-64424244524150997962016-02-04T17:24:39.361+10:002016-02-04T17:24:39.361+10:00Yes Judith it is a great shame.Yes Judith it is a great shame.Greg Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17128471435023525995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4708258683294269863.post-59828839227019725182016-02-04T17:24:12.171+10:002016-02-04T17:24:12.171+10:00Thanks for that advice MartinThanks for that advice MartinGreg Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17128471435023525995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4708258683294269863.post-60167087627954424592016-02-03T22:42:32.566+10:002016-02-03T22:42:32.566+10:00How terribly disappointing.

Thank yo for sharing this article, I feel really sad that this has been the outcome... For a moment we almost thought developers cared about the environment!!!
