The 22 plumed whistling ducks are still at Trucking Yard Lane as of now. If they aren't on the dam on the side of the road on TY Lane, then try the dam in the next paddock over down Hoskinstown Rd (this is where I saw them). Sometimes they drop down the side of the dam so you can't see them, but wait a while and they should pop back up again.

On the second dam there were also a multitude of mountain ducks (at least 50), as well as grey teal, wood ducks and pacific black ducks.

I checked the Elmslea Ponds as well. Not much there, 2 Hardhead, 2 PBD, a few coots and 4 Purple Swamphen. A White-faced Heron foraging just at the side of the road at the place where the road crosses the creek near the traintracks.

They must be coming and going from this spot. I check it often and have not seen them for a while.I wonder where else they go
