I checked out Giralang Wetlands yesterday afternoon. No sign of the
reported Blue-billed Duck.

Did see a Great Egret, a pair of Black Swans with 6 cygnets and the usual
ducks.

Just in case you are interested...

My partner and I think that we saw a blue-billed duck on the Giralang
Wetlands this afternoon. We are total (but interested) amateurs at this but
all our bird books and web investigations give us only one water bird which
looks like that. The blue bill is not totally blue but would fit the
description of the male in eclipse...plumage has probably not yet changed.
