Busselton Police assisted in the arrest of 4 suspicious characters today- accused of loitering and j- walking - described as wearing dark clothing with long necks! Thank you Busselton Constabulary for helping secure these suspicious juveniles. They will join a flock of juvenile swans that have been abandoned by their parents as the wetlands dry up. Please contact FAWNA if you see any wandering swans. 0438 526 660 #police#apf #swans#animals #rescue#wildliferescue#gratitude#collaboration#makingadifference#thinblueline#australia#fawna#fawnaflightacademy

The wetlands are drying up and Swans are flying to the permanent waters of the Australind estuary. Cygnets that are not ready to fly or cannot make the journey are turning up everywhere. We needed to improve our Swan capacity quickly! Gratitude goes to John from Down South Turf for providing soft and delicious turf for these beautiful birds and to our intrepid volunteers far laying it. What an awesome effort- Teamwork makes the Dreamwork! #downsouthturf#swans #cygnets#biodiversity#wild #wildlivesmatter #fawna#wildliferescue#ifaw#wwf#arc#birds#volunteer #fawnaflightacademy#kaatijinupbiodiversitypark #community#gratitude

Big Shout out to @reeceplumbing for the donations of materials to make the wildlife drinking stations for the Boranup and Meelup fires and Rod Truran for constructing them. FAWNA volunteers and volunteer bushfire brigade members worked together this morning to ensure wildlife affected by the Meelup Park bushfire had water to assist recovery. Black Walk Meelup Reserve. Everyone will be pleased to know the Osprey nest was preserved. Our search took us along road ways and the containment lines created hastily by our firey’s to contain the spread of what was an extremely hot fire. The majority of the fire ground was still smoldering with personnel making the damaged trees safe. Yes there was evidence of wildlife that did not escape the flames and heat but also uplifting signs of Kangaroos and Birdlife and Possums that escaped. The red retardant turned the bush pink which was surreal. The rain began like a miracle this morning bringing hope. We were accompanied by 3 fire appliances and volunteer fire fighters a huge thanks to to DFES and the Volunteer Bushfire Brigade for assisting us in a safe search and to install wildlife drink station’s. #wildlife #bushfire#meelupbushfire#reeceplumbing #dfes#cityofbusselton #dunsboroughveterinaryhospital #fawna#volunteers#volunteerbushfirebrigade #firefighter#fires#arson#hope#possum#kangaroo#bush#meelupbeach#ifaw#wwf

It’s raining swans! As the wetlands begin to dry, fledging and adult swans begin flying to permanent waters like the Australind Estuary. If you are not strong enough or your just not developed enough you might get left behind. It is common at this time of the year to find Swans at your door. This juvenile swan grazed his feet from walking on hard pavers. Keep them contained in your yard, keep pets inside and call FAWNA for assistance. 0438 526 660 #wild #wildlivesmatter #swan#rescue#wildlife #birds#rescuemission#fawna#fawnaflightacademy#joy#caring#volunteer

All the hot weather has lead to some very cute orphans coming in to our care- this little critically endangered Western Ringtail Possum Joey- “Libby” will be raised by our volunteers and prepared for wild release. #wild #wildlives #wilflivesmatter#possum #westernringtailpossum#joy#beauty #nature#naturelovers#fawna#possumfinishingschool#volunteer

We weren’t sure we could help when a property developer called needing to “ relocate “ 12 duck eggs before they removed a tree. Luckily they delivered them to volunteer Sue, who successfully incubated all 12 eggs - those ducklings were joined by another 9 from various rescues and Sue and Paul have raised them - and successfully released- big thanks to Sue and Paul as well as our Biodiversity Partners @woolworths_au for the generous supply of greens for our wildlife.#volunteers #woolworths#wild #wildlife#wildlivesmatter #live#ducks#joy#birds#fawna#busseltonwa
