Raptor rapture
Recently one of our supporters, Stuart Smith, purchased "Snows Hill" near Colebrook through the TLC Revolving Fund. The property contains threatened black peppermint, blue gum and silver peppermint forest and provides habitat for spotted-tailed quolls, Tasmanian devils, possums, wombats and lots of birds. Stuart has now had the opportunity to continue the fauna survey of the property and says,
"The property is excellent!! Over the last few months there has been a considerable amount of rain. The ground has been damp for all that time, resulting in seemingly dead trees etc bursting with new growth. I've recorded nine more species of birds to the original list the TLC gave me, including this beautiful Tasmanian brown falcon."
