Orford (Tasmania) KBA in Danger - record breeding success for Fairy Terns

Fairy Tern at Orford (Tasmania) KBA by Dr Eric Woehler

Dr Eric Woehler, who looks after this KBA for BirdLife Tasmania, has confirmed 34 Fairy tern chicks at Orford KBA in Danger this season. He puts this happy result down to a permanent fence protecting the colony and other volunteer actions. The KBA remains in danger while the council is considering to remove the fence safeguarding the southermost colony of this threatened species in the world.
