At Yerrabi Ponds this morning there were a pair (M & F) musk duck near the NW of the dam wall and a lone female off the southside playgrounds.
 
I was wondering if the presence of musk ducks is helped by an absence or by a low population of carp. My recollection is that the reduction of the MD population in Lake Burley Griffin occurred when carp were introduced in the mid 1970's.
