Went on a quick trip to Gum's Swamp, 4km south of Forbes on the West Wyalong
road, this weekend.

It's a great place; we saw 30 plus species including: Restless Flycatcher,
Grey-crowned Babbler, Little Friarbird, Blue-faced Honeyeater,
White-breasted Woodswallow, Turquoise Parrot (coming in the evening),
Pink-eared Duck, Musk Duck, Blue-billed Duck and Sea Eagle.

Highlight was a family of Pink-eared Ducklings, tiny and fluffy, with
(proportionally) such huge bills!
