Top photo shows a small section with the litter that regularly inundates & chokes Terrys Creek when storm water washes the rubbish from our streets, down drains. Simon Day, a local resident & hero is champion of the environment. He collected this in just a few weeks. We all (including wildlife) benefit from this. Thanks Simon ! (:

Birdlife Australia are achieving outstanding conservation results for our native birds & their habitat. Conservation is at the heart of everything they do. Check the website for lots of great information & see Jenny's list of birds sighted in Terrys Creek yesterday
These have got to be the cutest faces you will ever find in Terrys Creek. The Boobook Owls are comparably small Owls, usually found tucked up in trees branches with good canopy cover. Jenny Stiles spotted them here yesterday.
Lucky Local resident Ingrid whose home adjoins Terrys Creek bushland spotted this little wallaby exploring the area on Sunday https://www.facebook.com/ingrid.hazelspring/videos/10154545694353079/
Both of these shots were taken looking north from the footbridge that joins Essex Street Epping to Vimiera Road Eastwood. The first photo was taken around 2010 just after the flooding event at Terrys Creek that caused significant damage to the creekbanks. Now the endangered plant communities & abundant wildlife can be assured a more secure future.
Corridor of magnificent heritage habitat trees felled in the dead of night. Despite having an alternate route, that was in the original plan.... Wildlife rescue volunteers also ushered away. Shame..... Read the story_ here
The Great Egret makes an appearance in Terrys Creek (Dence Park/Pembroke Park area of the creek). Sure to impress with its fine spread of mating plumes. Spotted & photographed yesterday by Jenny.
