A visit to Kellys Swamp and the Fyshwick sewage ponds today
to help get my 2008 ACT Year List off to a decent start was rewarded with
exquisite views of an Intermediate Egret in full breeding regalia at Kellys (a
Great Egret also present provides a brilliant comparison), and five Freckled
Ducks, including a male with a red wash around the base of the upper mandible,
on pond 4 at the sewage works.
