It looks like darters to me but there were little pied cormorants on
nest there during the Blitz weekend.
I don't remember whether any of the nests survived the flood in
December. Most of the riverside trees were looking very battered the
following weekend.
I saw darter nests along that stretch of river early in 2009.

Seen from the bikepath alongside the Molonglo between Scrivener Dam and
Weston, about 50m downstream from where the Tuggeranong Parkway crosses
over the river. We didn't have binoculars with us and only a compact
camera with a short zoom. This is a crop from the centre of the camera
frame. Looks like two nests on the one branch.
