I spent some time today at Kelly's Swamp and had a look from the road over the ponds visible therefrom.

The most interesting sight at the swamp was a fox hunting on the island in front of Snipe hide.  The various waterfowl seemed quite unfussed about this intruder.

The ponds contributed 25 Pink-eared Duck and a Buff-banded Rail and a good number of Masked Lapwings to the more interesting category.  I noted that the tree removal along the road side seems to have been a temporary phenomenon: they are growing back quite briskly.  On the other hand there is no sign of the offered birding lookout: perhaps that was an early manifestation of Fake News!
