I have not been today (I might do) but yesterday (I arrived just before the rain), worth mentioning:
I saw 7 Hoary-headed Grebes in one group in the middle & 1 Aust Grebe but there may have been several more. Actually the
pied stilt, 1 great egret, white-winged trillers and Rufous Whistlers in song to north of pond, magpie larks, 35+ grey teal, 3 hardheads (more like about 30), black duck, a surprising large
number of Darters…….. Have been there since at least Monday.
