Clearly AW Ibis are flocking everywhere at present. A large flock flies every morning over my house, tracking along Ginninderra Creek as the waterbirds do around here,  using the creek corridor between Yerrabi Pond etc and Lake Ginninderra.  Whether they go further to the destinations already observed, I do not know.

There were well in excess of 300 Australian White Ibis and 35+ Straw-necked Ibis roosting on the 2 southern islands of Lake Tuggeranong, which flew in from the east. Also roosting there were 4 Great Cormorants and 3 female Darters. Every afternoon, we see many large flocks of ibis fly over Fadden and MacArthur due west, and the opposite direction in the mornings. Direction-wise, these flocks are clearly the ones that end up at Lake Tuggers. Now I am really curious to where these ibises spend the day... Maybe over the border?
