The white-necked heron is still there now, although without its friend. I could only see one straw-necked ibis at the airport on the grass over towards the petrol station.
Science and statistics may not always be done right or interpreted correctly, but we're better off with them just doing what people reckon, I reckon 😉

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.
