Bevan’s got a thousand mynas


Bevan Pugh is undeniably Clarence Valley’s number one Indian Myna trapper.
He started trapping in late 2007 after seeing a group of Indian Mynas kick a pair of Rosellas out of their nest at the Grafton Ag.  Station. Bevan has now removed 1000 of these feral pests from around his home in South Grafton (over 500 in the last 2 years). Also he trapped and euthanased a couple of foxes that were preying on the trapped birds. 
He’s a very active CIA committee member, is happy to share his trapping experiences and is a regular catcher at CIA Cane Toading evenings.
Congratulations Bevan, thanks for your much appreciated dedication.
