The Masked Lapwing pair
that nests every year on the roundabout at the north end of Josephson
St in Belconnen were shepherding either 2 or 3 very young
fluffballs around the roundabout this afternoon. Doubtless the
better informed will insist that this is within the breeding norms
for that species in Canberra, but I'm pretty sure it's much
earlier than previous years for that particular pair.
Also of note today, a B-s Kite hovering above Ginninderra Creek
beside William Slim Drive near the Belconnen Soccer Club this
morning, and again on the other side of W S Drive this afternoon.
Presumably the same bird.
