I assume they were just passing through as I am told that they are not too common in that area.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06360508495031174134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18783751.post-10028488752816624882010-04-27T15:32:23.190+10:002010-04-27T15:32:23.190+10:00Hi James,

Did drop in late morning to Dulverton on my return and noted 8 Cattle Egrets on the "picnic" dam. Presumably recent arrivals.BirdingTashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08341646998037894004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18783751.post-33845749257432127032010-04-22T19:28:35.605+10:002010-04-22T19:28:35.605+10:00I enjoyed reading your report on your visit to Lak...I enjoyed reading your report on your visit to Lake Dulverton - and as always you've posted some first class images! I paid the lake a brief visit at the beginning of the month and encountered mostly the same species as yourself. I had 47 Hardhead out in amongst the raft of several hundred Coot. Also I thought 9 Australasian Grebe were noteworthy - a species I don't often see down that way. It was also the first time I've seen them at this Lake. Regarding the Coots nesting in the area, I have photos from a visit to the lake in late December 09 of at least four succefull breeding pairs which were all seen around the main picnic area, and I counted at least 9 young though I'm sure not all of them would have survived this far in to the year.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06360508495031174134noreply@blogger.com
