In response to Nikolas: Peter said something very like, 'I might not have
recognised the female if it were not for the male.'
I presume your statement of 'In late October most adult males should be in
breeding plumage but some may still be in eclipse,' is predicated on your
thinking about birds kept in Australia.

Hi Alan,
Do you know what Peter means with 'pair of birds'?
(1) Does 'birds' mean 'Red-crested Pochards' or 'mystery birds that may
have been Red-crested Pochards'?
(2) Does 'pair' mean 'adult breeding plumage male and female'? In late
October most adult males should be in breeding plumage but some may still
be in eclipse.
Red-crested Pochard is one of the most commonly kept pet ducks.
Best wishes,
Nikolas

Greetings, I¹ve checked the swamp thoroughly on four occasions since the
initial sightings and not seen them.
Met Peter this morning. It was a pair of birds he saw fly in about 40
metres from him. On his return a few minutes later he could not find them.
