Fyshwick SF - Australasian Grebes

["Steve Holliday" <>]

Our count was late morning, don't know how much effect timing has on counts, but there could also be variation with birds to-ing and fro-ing from other nearby water bodies. I think Michael is correct about approaching closely enough to flush everything out. I've also noticed that having a Little Eagle or other scary raptor go over tends to increase the count for some species, as previously hidden birds come out into the open in response to the general alarm.

 

cheers
