Wild In Bayside: Patterns and Camouflage

Come with Belinda Raymond, the Entomological Society of Victoria and Friends of Native Wildlife on a fascinating journey to discover insects and other invertebrates of the night and learn about their patterns and camouflage.

Belinda will tell us about insects, spiders and other invertebrates, followed by a walk in Long Hollow Heathland to see them with the help of a bug-attracting UV light.

Belinda Raymond works for Citywide looking after George St Reserve and Donald MacDonald Reserve. While studying Conservation and Land Management, she gained an interest in fungi, plants and pollination and joined ESV. Her research over the last few years has shown how important they are to our ecosystem and the plants within it.

Belinda currently hosts a monthly insect survey with ESV at George St Reserve in Sandringham.

This event will include a brief Annual General Meeting for Friends of Native Wildlife.

Tulip St Pond development proposal submission PP 49/2020

PDF icon Download Tulip St Pond PP 49/2020 Submission

Tulip Street Pond is one of the very few places in Bayside where frogs regularly breed, particulary larger frogs such as the Eastern Banjo (Pobblebonk) frog. Planning proposal 49/2020 for basketball courts impacts the pond, but neglects to consider the pond's importance to frogs and other native wildllife. Friends of Native Wildlife Inc. lodged an objection to the proposal with Council. This is a copy of our objection.

2020 Bayside Council Election - Responses to Candidate Questionnaire

We sent a questionnaire to every candidate for the 2020 Bayside Council election who provided contact details to the Victorian Electoral Commission (61 out of 66). We asked about issues we think are important for our community. It is not our intention to dictate to anyone how they should vote in the Council election, and we will not be endorsing any candidates. Rather, we want you to be well informed when you exercise your vote.

The Little Wattlebird

Little Wattlebirds are the first to wake and last to roost in our neighbourhood. Their unique range of calls are varied, loud and constant, with some of the stranger, harsh grating noises very unbirdlike. A Japanese visitor enquired about the strange noisy animals that woke him on his first morning in Australia. Upon being shown a Little Wattlebird in full voice he could not believe a bird, especially one that small, was responsible.
