Hi Birders, If you know of sites in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne that have resident, or at least regular, swans and pelicans can you please let me know. My spots have not been reliable for a few weeks and I need these two to keep my local Birdaday list going before heading out in the field over the next few weeks. Thanks, John Yours in all things “green” John Harris BASc, GDipEd Director – Wildlife Experiences P/L Principal Zoologist/Ecologist Nature Photographer Wildlife Guide Croydon, Vic 0409 090 955 President, Field Naturalists Club of Victoria www.fncv.org.au —– Reply message —– From: “John Boyce” <john.boyce@monash.edu> To: “birding aus” <birding-aus@birding-aus.org> Subject: [Birding-Aus] Anyone going to be taking part in the global Big Day on May 9 organised by Cornell Uni and ebird?

Hi John, Berwick Springs Lake in Narre Warren South (http://ebird.org/ebird/hotspot/L2547655) is pretty reliable at the moment while the fountain is off. Both species are there and usually viewable from the beach looking towards the island. There has been a family of seven swans there this year. The five youngsters are probably almost fully grown by now. If you have no luck here, check the lake on the other side of the road from the bridge. If still no luck (which would be really unlucky), head back to the island side and follow the path south past the playground to the wooden bridge. If you cross the wooden bridge and continue on the path, you will come to the Beaumont Waters lake in which both species have also been present. Cheers, Gerard Sent from my iPad
