Bungendore Meadow Dam: approximately 12 Shelduck mixed up with the cattle.
Trucking Yard Lane Dam: 95 Pacific Black Ducks and two Chestnut Teal: the male about halfway into breeding plumage.
Poo-pits: surprisingly few birds present.  About 12 Hardheads, 3 Pink-eared ducks snf 6 Chestnut Teal were the more interesting
Big Dam on Lake Rd: still a puddle of water (may improve if the weather forecast is correct) with 6 Grey Teal and 2 Black-fronted Dotterels.  Heading back into the Seat of Local Government a single Cattle Egret was skulking in a paddock at the junction of Lake Rd and the Smiths Gap Rd.

No Plumed Whistling Duck yet.
