It was a mild summer in the Valley compared to
previous years, which was a great relief for both the animals and gardens.
The
water lilies were a show throughout the hot days, and the kangaroo paws were a
welcome treat for the honeyeaters visiting the Valley.
The Sanctuary now has
three bird baths and the pond, which were frequented throughout the heat by
wrens, robins, fantails and even two golden whistlers!
The summer rose flowers
were well enjoyed by the possums, especially Merlin who likes to eat both the
blossoms and leaf tips from the various garden rose bushes.
