Weed reduction in I Cell is still working with more water birds than before. Black-fronted Dotterels, Comb-crested Jacanas, and Pied Stilts are back. There was a single Latham’s Snipe on H Cell on the 5th March, the only one I have seen in the past two weeks and perhaps it may be the last to leave for its flight to Japan.
The were two White-bellied Sea-Eagles near the car park last week, and not surprisingly no sign of the Forest Kingfisher family that had been seen there the week before
There were six Comb-crested Jacanas on the newly cleared I Cell, the most seen together for a while.
This Dusky Moorhen ventured out on H pond, normally the Moorhens prefer well secluded spots in the melaleuca wetlands.
