Until recently I worked in Woden. The last two years saw four or five batches of wood duck chicks at Edison Park; over 30 in total both years. I no longer work
at Woden but when I visited Edison Park on a couple of occasions in October/November there was not even one duckling even though I caught one pair mating earlier.

Certainly ducks have been few in number at Foxlow Lagoon recently.

Surveys in Bonner, Forde and Yerrabi Pond in the last two days has shown a sharp drop in the numbers of ducks. Yerrabi this morning has only 2 female Hardheads and 2 Pacific
Black Ducks. The flock of Hardheads at the back of Forde shops had gone. Has this pattern occurred in other places?
