Numbers count for injured wildlife
Tennis fun day
A MOTORIST who stopped to help after a kangaroo collided with a car on Mornington-Flinders Rd early Friday morning realised he didn’t know who to call to help the animal in its agony. Wally Sutton and the driver of the car that hit the kangaroo approached the injured animal which had dragged itself off the road and appeared to have broken its hind legs. “It was in agony,” wife Jenny Webber said. “Then the ring-around began: the driver called his wife who suggested the Main Ridge vet’s afterhours contact, who said call the council, the council said call the ranger, the ranger said call the police ... “When my husband left, the distressed driver was calling 000 to see what could be done.” Ms Webber has urged readers to put the Wildlife Victoria contact number 1300 094 535 into their mobile phones. The voluntary organisation will call the nearest volunteer to attend to the injured animal. Mornington Peninsula wildlife help organisation WHOMP can be called any time on 0477 555 611. Peninsula Vet Care East Mornington, on Mornington-Tyabb Rd, assists rescued wildlife. It is open 8am-11pm seven days a week. Call 5975 7766. The vet will also collect injured domestic animals for a fee.

Drill man: Joachim MacIntosh, of Pakenham, helps make a house for the owlet nightjar. Inset: owlet at The Briars, Mt Martha. Picture: Luke Shelley
Helping hands for retiring nightjar hollow branches and tree trunks. Owlet-nightjars feed at night on a variety of bugs, especially grasshoppers, beetles and ants. They play an important role in maintaining a healthy ecosystem in our natural environment. The birds mate for life, lay three-five white rounded eggs and raise one clutch a season. Their preferred habitat is any tree-studded area with suitable hollows.
BIRD watchers and environmentalists are concerned about the lack of recent sightings of the Australian owlet-nightjar (Aegotheles chrisoptus) on the peninsula. The owlet-nightjar is the smallest nocturnal bird in Australia, has cat-like whiskers and measures about 23cm long. It prefers to live in woodland and is usually difficult to see during the day as it hides in

Refugees on agenda
Members of the Natured Kids’ Junior Landcare Group are excited because a local bushwalker last week filmed one at The Briars, Mt Martha, sunning itself at the entrance to a hollow in a tree. It is evident owlet nightjars are vanishing in populated areas, although they are adaptable and have been spotted in urban areas near remnant bushland.
