thanks to Anthony Overs for leading a beginners' walk at Lake Ginninderra, on a beautiful day for such a walk. Much appreciated!

Like some of the others who are just learning, I was interested to find out that wood ducks nest in trees - we saw a pair very actively investigating some likely hollows. Good views of a gang-gang also a highlight for many.

Other birds seen on the walk:
Waterhens, Moorhens, Coots
A pair of domestic ducks - not usually worth mentioning, but having a coot, a quite tame duck and a waterhen standing side-by-side enabled Anthony to point out the differences in their feet to the very new birdwatchers in the group

Crimson rosellas, Eastern rosellas
Grey shrike thrush
Pacific black ducks
White plumed honeyeaters (in abundance)
Little pied cormorants and great cormorants
Black swan, red wattlebirds, magpies, magpie larks, fairy wrens, silver gulls
