I would be a bit cautious about attributing numbers of waterbirds to occurrence of Water Primrose. My observations after travelling around Southern Tablelands this autumn looking at plants in dams and wetlands are that most waterbodies have more waterbirds present than expected: i suspect waterbirds are responding at to physical or weather conditions way beyond ACT.

Please note: The pattern of projections on the upper surfaces of the abdomen is characteristic of this species. Those on the closely related Eriophora pustulosa are similar but the latter species is often darker and has a more angular body shape.

There is so much Water Primrose this last year at Jarramlee Pond it appears to have brought in more wildlife. The landcare group's annual bird survey is showing up a couple of extra water bird species but more importantly they are sticking around. Same occurrence but to a lesser extent at neighboring Fassifern Pond.
Thanks for posting.

The key to maples given in https://maplesociety.org/species-list/vegetative-key-to-the-genus-acer/ has A. buergerianum in GROUP G (Acer, Ginnala, Indivisa, Oblonga, Pubescentia): Lamina unlobed or 0-3-lobed, 5-lobed laminas absent. This tree has 3-5 lobed leaves and I think it is Acer campestre; it matches some of the images in the vegetative scans (including the underside of the leaves which I can't add to this sighting).
