I did notice a large flock a couple of years ago on the Duntroon ovel. Looked like a speed dating session.

Subject: [Canberrabirds] Masked Lapwings flocking
I don’t know what they put on the grass of the #1 Playing Field at Holt, but it suits the Masked Lapwings. At 14:00 today I counted 38 mainly grouped at the southern end
where the aerial ping pong posts are positioned. They were standing about nice and still so I recounted, same total. Obviously post breeding autumn flocks, but I’ve don’t believe I’ve noticed such a large flock in the ACT before or anywhere else for that matter.
Perhaps others have.
