In my search for breeding Dusky Moorhens (Brisbane northside), I came
upon the dreadful prospect of Second Lagoon (Sandgate) down to its
very last puddle. Extraordinary. And pitiful to see the ibis, &
others, wheeling above it. Also the sad sight of crowding on the tiny
island in the small ?artificial pond (which I presume to be 'Lagoon
Number 1') in the nearby shopping precinct -- cormorants, Darters,
two kinds of ibis, egrets, moorhens, & so on, quarrelling amidst
limited roosts & stick platforms/nests.
Dowse Lagoon ('Number 3') I couldn't really assess. No water
visible, but the reeds & grasses, etc., look green.
