On 28 March I saw a Black Swan sitting on a nest at Isabella Pond. It's mate
was busy collecting reeds (to add to the nest?). I understand Black Swans
nest at any time when conditions are favourable.

Also I saw an Australasian Grebe in breeding plumage at Isabella Pond. Not
sure if this is typical for Canberra. Morcombe says breeding varies with
climate and season in Australia.
