mind you i did find one dead in the car park of the post office in bently /curtan about 4 years ago , so they are around if your looking , like I had never seen a wild rainbow bee eater until my trip to dwelling up last december, but just the other week I seen one in fly across rowley road near atwell.. well i think its atwell, near the free way....now if only i could find the red eared fire tail closer to home......pete

I suspect it isn't just about the cat population, but people not decimating native bush to plant concrete jungles...

Got it in one Flap I dont want to start all the Cat Haters out there off ,but we cant blame Cats for everything .People are stuffing it up with not Sterilsing.And of course Humans are ruining the World. Everything is more beautiful once you get away from all the Concrete, I'm just so grateful I know family with 100 acres of pure nature to go and enjoy and forget about the city life hehe

Used to see the native bee eaters round here quite a bit in the "90's but all the land clearing seems to have also cleared them out. Kingfishers however are increasing in numbers, possibly due to the private school developing a frog wetlands or Kingfisher cafe.

Going to visit friends at Lower King near Albany on 5th Feb for my annual fish and crab fest [King George Whiting and Blue Swimmer Crabs]. To make it even better they have a group of Red Eared Fire-tails that come in to be fed each day,plus a lot of other birds.

Cheers Greg.

Better take the bird net instead of the fish net then.
