While we're on the topic, there are (or were last Saturday) Black Swans sitting on a nest in clear view at the tip of the Lake Ginninderra peninsula (just walk out to the end of the boardwalk and look right. They've been on the nest for at least 2 weeks, so the eggs may well have hatched by now (I haven't had a chance to go since Saturday). I also saw another pair with 5 cygnets in tow off the beach on the Eastern side of the peninsula. They were pretty small, so it may well have been their first outing.
