Bettongs, bilbies and bandicoots among species bouncing back after healthy rain over SA reserves
ABCHealthy rains have created a bumper season for native animals in South Australian nature reserves, and coaxed out some rarely seen species. Key points: Recent rain has helped native species thrive in SA An active malleefowl mound has been found for the first time in one region Some mouse species are being seen for the first time in 10 years A dormant malleefowl mound in the Yellabinna Regional Reserve, in the state's far west, recently became active. The community co-ordinator at conservation group Arid Recovery, Ines Badman, said the speedy recovery facilitated record numbers of native animals in some parts of the reserve. "We've been averaging at the moment at least two or three tours a week, so definitely seeing people come through and travelling Australia a bit more," Ms Badman said.
