Hi All
(1) The swans nesting on Gininderra Peninsular, mentioned in the beginners
class report ( 7th august i think), were still sitting yesterday morning about
0800.
At that time the second adult was nearby
(unusual). This morning (28 aug) at about the same time, neither bird was
sitting but both were swimming and eating within
five metres of the nest. I could see no
cygnets. Did anybody see the swan sitting prior to 7/8 ?
(2) There were 14plus gang gangs on the penisular yesterday
morning.
(3) I am not sure whether they have been reported yet this year or not - i
know someone said someone else should look - but there are at least two seagulls
sitting on eggs, or at least on nests, on yachts,
on Lake Burley Griffin in the region of Yarralumla Bay.
