Today I observed 65+ SWDs with 30+ Burdekin Ducks, a few greenshanks and masked 
lapwings, 2 common sandpipers and a marsh sandpiper.  Interestingly most of the 
birds were in the paddock where the old pond used to be which now has a decent 
puddle courtesy of the rain and a lot of vegetation.  A week ago (with 300mm 
less rain) I counted 75 SWDs and 44 Burdekin Ducks in the rain filled sewage 
pond.
