Wild In Bayside - The Green Link Project

The Green Link is a proposed linear park following the route of the Sandringham rail corridor from South Yarra to Gardenvale. It would use existing public open space and walking paths, and expand these by connecting and linking existing open space and enhancing tree canopy.

Our guest speaker, Justin Halliday, has lived in St Kilda East and nearby all his life. He has worked in the creative industries and project management, and has been active in environmental and climate change communities, especially in his local council of Port Phillip. He is a major contributor to the proposal for the Green Link project.

Free for FoNW members.

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.

Frogs are back!

Our Frog Watch in Sandringham Golf Course and some other locations was loud, the busiest for the year.

6 to 8 brown tree frogs
20+ spotted marsh frogs
10+ common froglets
20+ eastern banjo frogs (pobblebonks)

Sign up for next month's Frog Watch. Limited numbers for these events.

Rob was overwhelmed by the support when a call went out on our member newsletter.

There was an immediate response to help make a large number of bird boxes to support an order from a group wishing to enhance habitat in people’s gardens. We had more offers of time and talent than boxes pre-cut ready to assemble and paint.
