I spent about 45 minutes in fairly ordinary
conditions paddling a small section of the Molonglo at Duntroon today. The
rewards were three occupied Darter nests with male bird sitting, (including one
on the Duntroon side), one nest under construction by a female, one
nest occupied by a female bird with three young ones. Also a
single occupied Little Pied Cormorant nest. Bird numbers were about 12
each of Darters and LPC, with 4 or 5 Great Cormorants also in the
vicinity.
