Backwoods Belinda

Today the volunteers at WPIT had a visitor from Billy's teammate - Belinda. She said that even though they hadn't captured any animals on camera yet, she knew they were there. She brought with her some owl pellets to see if we could help her understand which creatures owls eat. So we set to work investigating with our very special tools and identification charts.

Backwoods Belinda helped out!

Some very close inspections

Checking the charts carefully

We found out that owls regurgitate a lot of fur and feathers!

Cleaning our larger finds

A rodent skull

Awesome owls!

We have been sketching owls. What do you think?

Backwoods Billy Baxter

Backwoods Billy Baxter, a famous nature film-maker, has come all the way from Australia to find out about nocturnal animals, but has been unable to catch any on camera! So the expert volunteers at WPIT decided to give him a bit of advice. They should know, they've been watching wildlife for a long while now. They decided that they may have to make a guide book too, to show Billy what he's actually looking for. After all he's probably more used to crocs and koalas! Some of the volunteers came up with some top tips to help Billy!
