Hi all
I did manage to squeeze in 15 minutes at Kelly Swamp yesterday, too, and one of
the spoonbills flew to shore in front of Cygnus, selected some stick and took
it back to the island where both of them took their time to poke it into
position (hidden by leaves).
On my way back to the car I saw a Baillon's Crake between the reeds. I was
standing just where the tall vegetation between path and water stops shortly
before you get back to the bittern hide.
There were also 5 Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos around, feeding and getting
chased by Red Wattlebirds.
Cheers, Susanne
