There is also a heron nest at the Lyneham “wetland”, I will try to have a look whether they have any chicks or not.

After not seeing a White-faced Heron nest for some years, today I located two active nests in the Ginninderra Creek catchment, one with four young, some near to fledging (attached photo from video), and the other with a brooding bird. Both nests were well hidden.
In most years only a few active White-faced Heron nests are reported within the ACT (0 in 14/15 ABR, a total of 2 with eggs and 21 with young for the 32 years 1982-2013) so locating two in one day may indicate it is a good breeding season for them.
