Dead birds and cat tracks

We were recently alerted by a local resident to a very sad sight. A number of dead white fronted terns had been killed at the end of Onoke Spit quite close to the Lake Ferry Hotel. Surrounding the remains of these birds we found a number of cat tracks in the sand. We also sighted a feral cat hiding under some driftwood with a cache of bird remains.
Needless to say we have set 2 further predator traps in the area and hope soon to give you the good news that the hunter has been eliminated.
