    Notes Dam 103% full - little in the way of bare shores for waders. Water rough most of the time. Two heronries, largest at W end of the largest island near dam wall, with most nests in bushy eucalypts along shore and in adjacent shallows - nests in some sections difficult to see; other in indigenous trees on small island in E half of dam, off southern shore. Two Little Egrets flew to largest heronry, but no nest seen. Four Spoonbills at second heronry, but no nests spotted. Egyptian Goose: pair with 4 young (class Ic).
