Results from the big Aussie bird count are in! 🦅🦆

Cockatoos overhead and magpies warbling at dawn are familiar sounds for many South West locals.

New results from Birdlife Australia’s yearly Aussie Bird Count have provided a snapshot of the birds inhabiting backyards, neighbourhoods and coastlines in our region.

In Western Australia, the most commonly seen bird was the Australian Raven.

The Red Wattlebird claimed the title of most prolific bird in Bunbury.

The New Holland Honeyeater was the most common in Albany.

“It’s interesting that even in various districts, the mix is different. Every area is kind of unique with its birdlife,” Birdlife Australia’s Sean Dooley said.

Nationally, the most seen bird was the Australian Magpie, which was encountered by half of the 64,000 citizen scientists that contributed to the survey.

In WA, magpies dropped from the second-most-common bird last year to the fifth this year.

“That’s a really interesting statistic, because we’ve probably all heard of this disease that’s knocking out magpies in parts of Perth,” Mr Dooley said.

“These results suggest that it’s starting to have an impact on how common magpies are.”

What's the most common bird at your place?

Gnarabup resort on approval track🌊🏨 A controversial multi-million dollar resort planned for Gnarabup is one step closer to approval after WA's Environnment Minister minister knocked back several community appeals.

Community groups and the local council had been trying to stop the $138 million Saracen Properties resort going ahead, claiming WA's Environmental Protection Authority hadn't properly considered the environment and amenity when signing off on the project.

Environnment Minister Matthew Swinbourn has now rejected most of the appeals, but admits more will need to be done to protect critically Endangered western ringtail possums if the project goes ahead.

He's yet to make a final decision on the project itself.

Until he does, Preserve Gnarabup campaigner Beth Carlessi says locals will be "fighting all the way" to stop the resort going ahead.

"Although he has determined the ground of appeal, an offical decision hasn't been made yet. So the minister can actually use his discretion to consider a wider range of factors.

"Everyone is just baffled that it may go ahead."
