User's notes
I ventured out of the back yard today and found this swan sitting on his/her nest. Presumably it is well known to those who live in Gungahlin but I didn’t know it was there so it was a nice find. I did a lap of the pond and when I came back the partners were switching turns to incubate the eggs.
