Good rain around Lake Cargelligo NSW and Condobolin
means swamps are full of water and of cause birds, interesting observations,
thousands of Straw-necked Ibis, White Ibis, White-necked Herons, Large and
Plumed Egrets . No shortage of Grey Teal and Black Ducks, shovelers or Zebra
(wops Pink -eared ) Ducks or Hardheads and Woodducks. The Brolgas previously
reported are still present but don't appear to have breed successfully. Raptures
present include Black Falcons, Swamp Harriers, Black-shouldered, Whistling
and Black Kites. Budgerigars are also starting to turn up in
numbers.
At Euabalong West (7/1/200) still present
are the Painted Honeyeaters who appear to have breed.
All around it looks like being a good summer
for birding.
