Little Eagle

I watched a light morph Little Eagle
soar steadily higher just north of the big dam at Mulligans Flat on Sunday
afternoon around 5pm. It spooked the local ducks and noisy miners.
On the shrinking dam were a pair of
Australasian Grebes with a noisy trio of juveniles. The parents
were busy feeding them. It seems to have been a great year for this species
in Mulligans-Goorooyarroo with 4 or 5 separate pairs with young seen by
me in the past month or two. There were 2 Dollarbirds present too.

While cycling around Yerrabi Pond yesterday
I stopped to watch the resident male Musk Duck preening just metres
from the shore below Mirrabei Drive. I could only find one other Musk Duck,
a female, all the way up near the northern footbridge. Does anyone know
whether this years young have moved on?

Cheers
Marnix
