    Notes Most of dam covered by boat, but level of water low, making some bays inaccessible, these were scanned with a scope mounted on a tripod on the shore. Geese wary and took flight easily - possibly some double-counting. Adult Fish Eagle settled on nest in eucalypt near N shore, towards W end of dam.
