Hello all,

An adult Little Bittern was observed by most members of Murray Goulburn BOCA
group on an outing yesterday.  It was visible from a park bench on the north
edge of the lake near the Council buildings for about an hour around noon,
firstly on the reeds on the south edge of the lake about 150m east of the
bridge, and it then flew to the other side where a small group had good
close views.  It is possible but not confirmed that two individuals were
seen.

Also while walking on the walking track swifts were seen well above tree
height on 2 occasions.  At least 3 White-throated Needletails in one area
and a single Fork-tailed Swift at another area a few minutes later.
