Freckled Duck??? at Braeside Park, SE Melbourne

I hear that a Freckled Duck was reported as having been seen at
Braeside Park, probably on Boxing Day.

Does anyone know, please, if this record has been confirmed and,
if so, whether the bird is still there ?

I have fond memories of Braeside rarities: a "little ringed
plover", confirmed by a second observer, turned out to be a
juvenile red-kneed dotterel ?

Incidentally the Magpie Goose is still there, almost 2 years
since it was first seen on 5/2/99.
