I finally managed to capture all 5 Glossy Ibis together on Boulderwall fields this afternoon, while watching them a male Marsh Harrier caught a Coot at the top end of Cooks Pool where the 3 Cattle Egrets were feeding. A very windswept Burrowes was disappointing. Scotney was also disappointing as there were still no Yellow Wagtails to be found, the first birds are usually around the farm on the 1st.
