There are currently two Black Swans on the Storage Pond at Trin Warren Tam-boore. These are the first Black Swans (that I know about) to have visited the area. I was informed that they were nesting, however I haven't been able to find the nest.
There are also two pairs of Hardhead ducks amongst all of the coots, moorhens, purple swamphens and grebes also on the pond. These are the first for the season, they usually turn up sometime in spring and disappear during winter.
Other nice birds which were around the area today were Spotted Pardalotes, a Little Grassbird on the settling pond and a Grey-shrike Thrush near the creek line.
Two swans on Trin Warren Tam-boore
Update 18/09/2008
On my walk to Trin Warren Tam-boore today I discovered the Black Swans have built one massive nest on the storage pond. One swan was sitting on the nest asleep with its neck gracefully draped over its back. The other swan was foraging on the other side of the pond.
The Australian Reed-warblers have also returned in numbers for the summer. Over on the settling pond a Great Egret was sitting in the reeds. Other nice birds present nearby were Grey Fantail, Grey Shrike-thrush and Silver eyes.
