A pair of swans appear to have built a nest in the pond in the middle of
the roundabout at the intersection of Parkes Way and Coranderrk St in
Civic. I can't tell whether there are any eggs. Is this early or
extremely late? Pizzey and Knight say that swans breed between April
and October in southern Australia but any month after suitable rains!!
Do these swans know something about the prospect of autumn rain that we
don't?
