Well another weekend down the coast revealed what seemed to be more Cattle Egrets migrating. This time further north between Durras and Bawley Point I saw a lone Cattle Egret on 3 separate locations struggling north against the strong winds over beach and headland. One bird obviously had run out of energy and needed a short rest on the beach at Bull Pup Beach. Minutes later it took off again, only to be followed some 10 minutes later by another bird going in the same direction. One bird was also seen circling over the houses at Depot Beach.

Another 2 Cattle Egrets were at the Bungendore Sewage Ponds on the Saturday morning.

Cheers
Marnix
