The Otter family is still being seen, mainly around the Deep Water Lake area. Wildfowl are starting their courtship displays with Shelduck and Shoveler the most active at the moment. A Treecreeper has been seen along the northern loop often associating with Long-tailed Tits. On the Stony Islands there was an excellent count of 47 Snipe! A very good count for the reserve.
