I went for a short walk near Kelly's Swamp at lunch time today.

There's a pair of Black Winged Stilts on the far side of the large southern 
pool in Kelly's Swamp.  Other birds seen in the area - Superb Fairy Wren, 
Silvereye, Red Browed Finch, Grey Fantail, Red Wattlebird, Masked Lapwing, Pink 
Eared Duck, Eurasian Coot, Purple Swamphen, Grey Teal, a family of Black Swans 
with cygnets, White Ibis, Little Grassbird, Australian Reed Warbler, Little 
Pied Cormorant, Blackbird and White Browed Scrubwren.  In the sewerage ponds 
were Hardheads.

A Brush-tailed Possum seems to have made one of the hides his regular sleeping 
spot, and there were a lot of rabbits and one Hare.
