During our monthly U3A birding outing this morning
a G-c G was seen on the 'back' pond at Kelly's Swamp. Certainly the
high-light of the day as was the presence of water.
And on Sunday, when we were taking a US visitor
around to the once good spots we were astounded to see that nearly all of our
old favourite places are in very bad condition, eg trees dying at
Uriarra crossing, the Uriarra homestead dam almost dry, very low water levels
at Tidbinbilla, pond at Namadgi Info Centre dry, and then Kelly's
almost dry, too. Did somebody say 'There will be a wet
autumn'?
