This morning a White-necked Heron, (possibly the same one - they are
not common around here) was at the pond along Jarramlee Road and
there was a Brown Falcon sitting on the wires down near the disused
Sewerage Pumping Station further down Ginninderra Creek. A welcome
(sorry about that!) sight were some Welcome Swallows near the same
pond - first seen here for some weeks.
From the slightly unusual to the apparently displaced. For the
first time in over 4 years there was a Silver Gull at one of these
tiny suburban ponds yesterday - on Jarramlee Pond, which is in Dunlop
below Archdall and Pomeroy Streets. Although common around the
bigger lakes, I was not aware that they came to smaller bodies of
water - is it unusual or just that none had found the pond
before? Incidentally it had gone by this morning.

Today along Parkwood Rd a White-necked (Pacific) Heron and a very
dark morph Brown Falcon. The heron, possibly the same one, was at a
dam where I have seen a single bird over the past few years.
