Dear anyone with interest and knowledge,

Two days ago, more than 100 large water birds in two distinct 'v' formations over the freeway up near Marulan, heading for Canberra (I couldn't quite read their destination sign, but it sure looked southerly). The only birds in my finder that came close, very close to the appearance of these magnificent birds, was the great black cormorant. Is it normal for them to be in such numbers and heading south at this time of the year? Fabulous sight!

Australian shelduck pair at usual dam on Currawang road - between Collector and Tarago - arrived some weeks ago. Visible any day.

Regards,

Jude Hopwood.
