Hopefully you were able to pull it out?

Michael, I didn’t pull it out because I was unsure of its identity. Apparently, this species is very rare in NSW. I’ll keep an eye open for it at this site in future.

This site is a floristically rich travelling stock reserve, Sweeneys Travelling Stock Reserve. Are you able to set up a “Site” for this - I’ll be adding more flora and mammal data for it as time goes on, because it’s a site I’m doing regular bird surveys in.

Rainer I have set up a Sweeneys TSR site - Look forward to reports of conyza eradication
