on the first of the boat outings to look at LBG birds we
also saw a black swan family with one of the 2 small cygnets riding on the back
of one of the adults, near the Kingston foreshore.
on the 2nd outing last Saturday, there was a pair of wood
ducks with 2 ducklings swimming around near the jetty where we boarded the
boat. we also saw many little black cormorants still on nests, so it was a
very successful outing - I think we tallied up about 150 LBcormorants altogether
for the outing. an unexpected sighting was a (slightly disputed ID) cattle egret
flying over a couple of times while on our way back to the jetty near the
museum

Several months ago there was a swan
family on Lake Tuggeranong and one of the cygnets was riding on the mothers
back.
There are two lots of very young
wood ducklings at different locations on the Murrumbidgee Golf course. Four in one family and
two in the other. Much smaller broods than earlier in the year. Is this
late for their breeding?
