Yerrabi Pond today.
From 6.20am to 7.40, 29 species. Most of the former extensive algael bloom ( how to you spell it?) has gone, Reeds around the pond in very poor state only about 25% of good years so Reed Warblers way down.  Eurasian Coots 880 probably closer to 1,000 as it was overcast and some still sheltering near banks, 20 Black Swans, 50 Pacific Black Ducks,  11 Hard Heads and a high of 65 Dusky Moorhens including many immatures and 19 Australasian Swamphens including 1 immature. It looks like back to normal.
