This person posts about native plantings and animals on their property. They do a lot of work and the photos are helpful in seeing the changes. The blog is recommended.
Summary of the latest post:
Over the last year, I did not record any new amphibians, reptiles or mammals on our property, and a brief visit by a Zebra Finch constituted the only new bird.
Throughout the year, we didn't receive a single rain event large enough to generate runoff to fill our creek and dam.
Due to the dry summer and autumn, I only managed to get 295 new trees planted this year.
Over the seven years, I have planted a total of 3,350 trees, shrubs and vines, comprising 208 species of locally indigenous plants.
Last year's plantings were highly successful, courtesy of the wet autumn and winter of 2022.
Without any additional watering from me, I achieved a survival rate of 91.1%, which is the second highest of the seven years.
Some attendees had visited the property one or two years previously, so were more cognisant than I of the changes over time
