Blonde Wombats, a joey with attitude, a good Latham’s Snipe count and a tough start for the local Hooded Plover breeding season – it is all happening at The Cape. But a little bit of humidity brings out some interesting reptiles and some very colourful invertebrates. Enjoy Chatter No. 85.

Cape Chatter is taking a break for the remainder of the year and will return in early 2023 with hopefully lots of good news on successful mange treatment and some Hooded Plover breeding success along the Cape Paterson coastline!

Have a great festive season, keep safe and tread lightly!

With all the wild, wintry and wet weather about, it seems appropriate to look back on the development of the creek line chain of ponds and wetlands within The Cape, their evolution, and the important role they play in managing water within the estate and providing habitat areas for the flora and fauna. Enjoy Cape Chatter No. 84.

A full lunar eclipse, a blood Moon and a ‘Crescent’ Honeyeater on ‘Moonshadow’ Avenue … a real natural alignment, and it was all happening here at The Cape over the past few days! Enjoy Cape Chatter Issue 83.

A real mix of mild and cold wintry weather over the last week or so has played havoc with some of the behaviours of our local native wildlife. It is a challenging breeding time for our ‘Hoodies’ on the coast, invertebrates are coming and going, snakes are emerging … but life goes on! Enjoy Cape Chatter Issue 82.
