Hi Everyone - four black-fronted dotterels spotted at the two ponds near Slim Dusty Circuit in Moncrieff this morning at around 9:00 am. Only a few hundred meters away along the Bicentennial National Trail I spotted a pesky fox running around stirring up the neighbour's dogs. 

Two questions: are foxes commonly sighted in Canberra suburbs in broad daylight and should I report this to the local council? I just hope he doesn't make a meal out of the poor dotterels living not too far away! The state of the ponds were also very poor with all sorts of rubbish littering the banks including construction materials from the new housing development nearby.
