A special spot along the Creek

Not for the faint of heart maybe, I think I've discovered a wildlife hub in the creek bed, just north of River Road and the Hobson Creek Bridge. There's an old craggy apple tree bending over the creek, this year just loaded with juicy apples, and yet all around the tree are steep banks, covered in Himalayan blackberry with no clear escape routes. This year I noticed several kill spots all in the same stretch and it finally hit me - through the years that is where I always have found kills sites. So I wondered, do we have a smart predator down there waiting for unsuspecting wildlife to visit the apple tree and then Bam! So this would be the ultimate spot to observe. If nothing else, lots of potential predator/prey action.
