Spring has arrived and there is a lot of birdlife around Palm Lake at the moment. There are a few things you can do to help our wildlife.
1. If you have a cat please make sure that it is kept inside your villa. There have been reports of birds being killed in residents' backyards, possibly by a visiting cat. This is very distressing to see.
If you see a cat in the Resort on the loose please report it to Rick.
2. Take care when driving around the Resort as there are a number of new families of ducks and Swamp hens that now call Palm Lake Resort home. Unfortunately they don't have much road sense!
3. If you have a bird bath in your garden keep it filled with fresh water - the birds absolutely love having a drink and a splash each day. Great fun to watch.
A big thank you to Brian Reddy who sent photos of the babies that have hatched near his villa (276).
