I am getting VERY excited as yesterday at the local Sausage Sizzle at Mitre 10 I had so many people (locals and tourists) tell me of their sightings of emus on Bribie
So many people were concerned that something had happened to Eric the Emu in the Fire that recently happened on Bribie.
I just wanted to let you know that he is ok. Eric has been sighted, most recently just 2 weeks ago, outside of Banksia Beach Primary school and on Avon Drive. Another exciting sighting was by the Ladies Walking group from the Surf Club. They spotted a young looking emu on the beach at Woorim! Awesome news!
I am so happy to hear that people are finding Eric.
I have been walking all over Bribie trying to find Emu tracks and with the help of so many people yesterday I think I may have finally found some! So exciting. I am meeting up with Dr Scott Burnett on Wednesday when I do a story on the Emu Survey with Totally Wild so will clarify that what I did find is in fact Emu Tracks.
Please keep sharing with us where you last saw Eric. This gives us a good start in where to look and measure the tracks.
Thank you Bribie. I will keep you posted on how the wildlife survey is going
PLEASE PLEASE keep sending me your photos and sightings 🙂
