| A change from lawn to native garden has attracted a diversity of birds which visit my garden at Riverside - it's lovely to see them and to make them welcome. |
| For years I have wanted Native hens in my garden, now I have a pair who visit frequently and they are delightful to watch, especially when they are giving themselves a good wash! |
| A Sound Idea is a project to monitor the diversity and distribution of bush birds using digital sound recording devices. A statewide aural record of different habitats including urban gardens, especially those near bushland or reserves, is being compiled. There are some interesting observations emerging, click on the heading to find out more. |

| A period of heavy rain and still-warm soil temperature this autumn has resulted in splashes of colour and interesting forms popping up from the soil or organic debris. |
