Hi all.

I went birding with my dad around the two Dunlop ponds (Fassifern and Jaramlee) this arvo.  We saw a swan with their four cygnets approach us, only to be fed by another family.  The ponds had many cootes, pacific black ducks, purple swamphens, moorhens and a few Australasian grebes.  As always, there was a little pied cormorant on its favorite perch at Jaramlee pond. 
The most exciting sighting were two Richard's pipits, and a golden-headed cistacola.  He was on the fence surrounded by long grass between the two ponds.  Dad thinks there may have been another one somewhere nearby.

Regards, Matt.
