Is this unusual?? Thursday 21st July at 'Gooding's Corner' a big roundabout on the intersection of Gooding Drive and Robina Parkway, Carrara, Gold Coast, Queensland, I saw at least 50 Magpie Geese (probably many more than 50) paddling and splashing in the many pools of water left by the recent heavy rains in this area. There were also some foraging in the dryish looking grass among some cattle. I was so surprised at the sight that we were past the area before I could do an approximate count and didn't have the time to do a quick turn around to go back. Maybe it's not an unusual sight; I'm not really familiar with the birds in this region but thought it worth a mention on Birding-Aus.
