The "seen' element was a flock of 129 Straw-necked Ibis adjacent to Dairy Rd, grazing in the cow paddocks.  On the other side of the road about 20 Red-rumped Parrots were decorating the powerlines.

The Gray Goshawk reported by several observers to eBird was not seen in the Central Basin area.  

Also not seen were the willows on the small islands near the Carillion.  Presumably victims of Saliciphobia.  Let us hope that condition does not mutate into Quercusiphobia or Pinusiphobia or the Powl will join the Pied Cormorants in looking for a new roost.
