There is currently a remarkable range and number of water birds on the islands in Gungahlin Pond. A few weeks ago someone was asking about where the AW Ibises nested. Well there are dozens of them now on those islands, some of them obviously nesting.  As well large numbers of most of the larger water birds - all the cormorants, darters etc. There are Glossy Ibises as well and Egrets. 
The best approach I think is probably from the Western or Nicholls side of the pond. That is where the birds seemed most visible on this warm and sunny afternoon with very good light for photography from the westering sun. Regards to all. John
