Two Black Swan nests still have eggs. No Latham's Snipe or Black-fronted Dotterels have been seen this year while Great Egrets, Royal Spoonbills and White-faced Herons are only staying for brief periods and the first Pied Stilt noted for some time flew away quickly as the water level stays high and there is no shallow water for wading birds. Hoary-headed and Australasian Little Grebes have returned and about 130 Coots and 110 White-eyed Ducks have been recorded lately. Among "bush birds", both Magpies a nd Noisy Miners are building nests. Musk Lorikeets were present between I May and 15 June, which is later than usual. About 100 Little Corollas in April, May and June, are down to only three now with two adult Pied Currawongs seen lately.
