There are two adults and a chick. They are on private leaseholder's
land. They can be viewed from inside the fence at Mulligan's Flat.
Directions are:
1. Go to the main entrance to Mulligan's Flat NR at Forde suburb.
2. Proceed to the Big Dam.
3. Move to the south-east from the Big Dam.
4. You will then have the security fence between yourself and the
private leaseholder's land.
5. The territory of the Banded Lapwing pair covers the northern-most
section of the paddock (ie the section adjacent to the fence) and they
should be within view from Mulligan's Flat NR. (At the north-eastern
corner of the paddock there is a copse of trees that once marked the
location of a house. These trees are light green in colour. They are the
clue that you are looking into the right paddock.)
6. The lapwings have a tendency to occupy the north-westernmost section
of the paddock but are quite mobile.
I would appreciate any observations of the Banded Lapwings, particularly
those relating to the chick.
regards

Hi Barbara
Banded Lapwing is an interesting record - where was that seen, please?

Subject: [canberrabirds] interim blitz results
Thanks to everyone who participated and who responded so promptly to my plea
for datasheet returns. So far there have been 211 datasheets (153 hard copy,
58 via COG's electronic data input system) from 62 participants, who covered
80 named grid cells in the ACT (and many more whose identity I have yet to
check). 171 bird species have been recorded, 56 of them breeding. Three
species were recorded for the first time in the blitz: Powerful Owl,
White-fronted Chat and Banded Lapwing. I shall have tubestock of dodonea and
indigoferra, courtesy of Greening Australia, available for collection at the
November COG meeting for all blitz participants (presuming I can keep them
alive till then!) plus there will be fantastic lucky draw prizes. To those
of you who have asked specific questions or put in dodgy data, I shall be
contacting you in due course. Cheers, b
