Can anyone explain why Pitt Town lagoon (near Windsor NSW) remains so
obstinately empty despite all the rain we have had? Is the water level
there maintained artificially? On a visit to the area yesterday
(Sunday), I found Cattai Creek in a surging muddy spate and all the
other lagoons, including Long Neck, seemed fine. But Pitt Town still
looks like a green paddock.
There were plenty of Crakes (no Spotless) and one Glossy Ibis at
McGraths Hill STW; and still at least 3 Freckled Ducks (one male and two
females) on the lagoon neary opposite the turn-off to Mitchell Park,
which Chris Shinton found for me. Thanks again, Chris.
