I am pleased to advise that after months of
earthworks, planting , sowing , preparation etc this new public park and open
space is now open for visitors. My regular bi-monthly surveys have
commenced with feedback to ACT authority. Only limited birdlife this mornin g
including 50 plus wood ducks, 7 blackducks, one australian grebe and
surprisingly 3 tiny w. ducklings. Two lapwing plovers on the island, 4
housesparrows on telegraph wires plus 20 odd crested pigeons, with several pee
wees, A. ravens, red wattlebirds and magpies making up the number. The
newly sown grass is germinating well and a surprise visit by plumed whistling
ducks would be a bonus.
Good birding to all Terry
