Darters in Yarralumla?  Well sort of.  While paddling along the eastern bank of Weston Park LBG this afternoon I came across a Darter nest attended by adult male and female birds, containing at least 3 chicks.  There was another disused nest close by in the same willow.
 
About 50 metres away from that was a Purple Swamphen nest on a floating log tucked in under the willows, adult bird sitting with 3 or 4 small chicks.  It has probably done well to survive the recent deluge and subsequent floods.
 
Also seen were Seagulls nesting on 3 vessels in Yarralumla Bay.
 
Cheers
