As we headed out of Queanbeyan this morning a Great Egret was wadfing in the dam opposite the end of Sutton rd beside Yass Rd. 2 White-faced herons also present. Later as we drove down
the Majura Parkway towards Pilligo a White-necked Heron (and a White-faced Heron) were wading in a small water body. Finally, as we came past the airport Frances spotted at least 20 Straw-necked Ibis grazing on a lawn.
Given the (IMHO totally bogus) concerns of the airport about birds from Kellys Swamp perhaps they should plough up their lawns as they are obviously a potential hazard right under the flight
path.
