Hello Geoffrey,
 
Do waterfowl eat Azolla? There is a pair of Black Swans with three cygnets on the gross pollutant trap pond between Corranderk St and Nerang Pool. There is no Azolla on the pond and I am concerned that the cygnets may starve.
 
A pair of swans had at least two cygnets there last year but I think they both perished because of lack of suitable food for them and the wall seemed too high for them to get out to go and find food. I didn't keep an eye on them as I didn't go that way often enough. Did you (or anyone else ) see any cygnets there last year and know what happened to them?
 
Cheers
Peter
