A good autumn beginning for Fivebough Swamp
Sunday April 17th 2005
Currently Fivebough Swamp has the greatest amount of water present in April for the past 10 years, with water now covering ~90% of the wetland.
Numbers of Brolga are at their highest for many years, and Australasian Bitterns have returned early. Very few northern migrants are still present, with 31 Sharp-tailed Sandpipers recorded during the last wetland survey April 24, 2005. Glossy Ibis to have diminished from a height 15,000 present during November 2004 to 4 birds remaining today, and they can be expected to become absent during May.
