| Baby Grebe |
This poor little ball of fluff (a baby Grebe) has
obviously been stolen from the nest by either a raven or raptor but then dumped
ungraciously on the road way at the local council tip.
Searching the vicinity there was no sign of the
parents, so I took him home, fed him up and tucked him in safe and warm.
Despite all my efforts, the
poor little thing died (possibly form internal injuries) 24 hours later. But being unmarked except for a bit of blood
on the beak it was decided he was a great specimen for the Australian Museum so
off he went the next day. At least he
will be on display and help educate the public about our amazing birdlife.
