Duck-shooting season opening weekend

[Debbie Lustig <>]

It's my sad task to inform
readers about some of the birds shot on opening weekend of the season around
Kerang. This is a list of dead birds recovered from the water at a very dry,
receding Lake Bael Bael and another wetland nearby, displayed outside the
Premier's Office today (18/3). 

 

Another couple of hundred
wetlands around the state hosted duck shooting but were not monitored.

 

1 Blue-billed Duck

3 Red-necked Avocet

5 Eurasian Coot

53 Pink-eared Ducks

17 Grey Teal

2 Wood Ducks

1 Hardhead

 

In addition, 80 Freckled Duck were shot at a private wetland near Boort. This 
is reportedly
being investigated.
