Yesterday morning there were 3 Grey Teal just above the falls,
the first I have seen here in 6 years of near daily checking of this
site 4 km from Melbourne GPO. Unlike the now resident and locally breeding
Chestnut Teals, these birds were wary and appeared to have just flown in. This
is presumably a drought related occurrence. They had gone when I rechecked the
site in the evening.
Earlier this week there was a Darter at the site - the
first time I have seen it there since last summer.
Cheers
Neville
