Rainbow Lorikeets, noticed going In and out of a hole in a palm, have fledged young. Three immature Crested Pigeons were recorded at the end of December and one more was seen recently but nests have not been found. An adult and 2 immature Pied Currawongs were seen on 12 January. This species usually comes in April and stays until late July to mid August with most being irnmatures. Of the three breeding pairs of Willie Wagtails, one pair reared one young while another pair is rearing its second brood. Starlings are now in smaller numbers than was the case several years ago. More immature Little Blake Cormorants have been recorded than is usual for this time of year. One was seen to regurgitate a pellet. Immature Little Pied Cormorants are also present. An adult Pied Cormorant was seen on 10 January and four (including two immatures) were seen on 17 January and are still present. This species is rare at Albert Park and usually does not stay. Swamphens are still breeding with one young on 1 February. Occasional Nankeen Night-Herons (in breeding plumage) are recorded. Reed Warblers were incubating eggs from 28 January in a nest that can be seen from the path beside the lake.
