Plovers nest again at Eildon croquet club

t's that time of the year...

Our club plovers have obviously decided that our grass is the best place in town for their nest. They're back again after successfully raising their chicks last time.

Thanks to all players for looking out for these birds, who are a protected species. They seem to be pretty used to us now, so we can live together in wary harmony!

Another successful Rothwell Bunnings Sausage Sizzle done and dusted. Thanks to our amazing volunteers and customers.

The first shift – Jill, Jennifer, Robyn, Meg, Brett and Peter – were up before dawn to get things started.
