Jerra wetlands and Fyshwick Sewage ponds

[martin butterfield <>]

I went for a prowl to these areas this morning.  En route I passed by Norgrove Park and it seems that the forces of evil have completed their efforts in that immediate area.  Perhaps it will return to being Crake Heaven next Summer.

Some replanting appears to be happening around Fulica Hide.

The new improved (? I never had any problems with the old one) Cygnus Hide looks close to finished.  Some twigs have been added to the shore in front of it.  

Birds were generally scarce, although I did note a couple of Black-fronted Dotterels on dry Pond 5 and about 12 Golden-headed Cisticolas in shrubs adjacent thereto (near the ACTEW pumpng station).
