The nesting Great Cormorants at Qbn Sewage
Works are nesting no more. The nest on top of the metal box has completely disappeared
and the other nest on the deck of the pontoon is now only a few sticks –
perhaps this happened in the wild weather last week. The Great Crested Grebe
has also moved on.

Although there is little to see at the mainly dry expanse
known as Kelly Swamp, one species enjoying the present conditions is the
Black-fronted Dotterel, which has built up to a population of 24. There
is a mixture of adult and young birds which may be distinguished by the weak
markings of the latter.
