Apologies for taking a while to lodge this collective observation,
but some may find it interesting ...
My irregular but frequent morning walk is around Yerrabi
Pond ( the ‘top lake’). After the heavy rain in early February the population
of the lake which has been reasonably stable over some years suddenly changed. Specifically,
the 200+ coots almost entirely disappeared—my highest count since is 10,
and the Hardheads have gone completely. I have not seen one since that rain.
