The warmer weather is starting to arrive, and with
it the mongrel cane toads are showing themselves in force.
We had 24 in the fish pond at one time over the weekend (along
with others now all disposed of totaling 109 for a few nights walk
around the yard.)
We have not seen a goanna on the property this year (used to have
3 regulars that cruised the area)
We are concerned for the treefrogs as we noticed
that frog activity last year commenced upon the first rains
(storms) However the rains were not close enough together to
enable water to be held long enough for tadpoles to mature. All
this while the mongrel Canetoads sat watching & waiting until
about January as if they knew it was fruitless to spawn until
then.
Good Luck Darwin......now the Pollies jump
up & down!
That Berrimah line! I remember it well :-) Just like when the
Toads hit Borroloola....it's a million miles away from Katherine.
My theory is to let them go in Darwin & Kakadu so there is a
gradual influence instead of the Tsunami crashing wave that is
about to sweep through. Want to borrow a few?? See
screensavers page
for photos. |
