Date: Friday, September 21, 2012

Location: Small roadside lake on the edge of the Onkaparinga River, just east 
of the new railway bridgen on River Rd.

Blue-billed Duck (Oxyura australis) (2) This one or a pair have been seen 
around southern Adelaide for a couple of years now, not sure if they are 
actually breeding locally, but going through the courtship display motions. Of 
some concern what impact the new rail bridge may be for them, and others as the 
huge  bridge effectively divides the Lower Onkaparinga Estuary Reserve.
Lots of pictures taken this morning, see 'More Information...' link below.

Male and female Blue-billed Ducks undertaking their special courtship display, 
quite special to observe and photograph, lots of picture taken.
