Another successful COG trip up the Molonglo Reach
yesterday revealed significant Darter breeding, with activity much the same as
last year (despite the different seasonal conditions), but including two nests
on the now bare N bank. In contrast Great and Little Pied
Cormorant breeding activity was very low (2 nests with birds sitting on them
each), with no Little Black Cormorant breeding observed.
Has anyone recently checked the breeding of the
latter at the colony near the mouth of Sullivan's Creek this year, where this
species now seems to breed, sometimes in very high numbers?
