User's notes

On the day when water was flooding into Yerrabi Pond (23rd March), a young swan (ankle tag DAN) was trying to get under the walkway over the stream but the water slammed it into the concrete. I wondered if it survived, but today I found it in the upper ponds in the Lyall Gillespie Corridor. So pleased.
