Enjoying Melbourne's early spring this morning were
two Black Swans, just upstream of the Eastern Freeway bridges on Merri
Creek. When I checked an hour or two later, they had moved down to the
confluence with the Yarra, above Dight's Falls.
This is my first record of swans for this location
in over 20 years of observations. From their tameness, I suspect they may have
headed up-river from Melbourne Botanical Gardens.
Also on the river close to the falls, a pair of
Australasian grebes in full b.p.
