As the COG line has been full of reports of this species recently, I submit a video from Duncan Fraser in Gippsland, a well respected birder and naturalist. http://bencruachan.org/blog/?p=13804 His brief video clearly shows the bird "paddling the mud", one foot at a time, then striking for an insect or other invertebrate. Has this behaviour been in evidence at Kelly's Swamp, where, by reports the levels are low, favouring mud paddling, and visibility? Denis Wilson If you're not pissed off with the World, you're just not paying attention. (Kasey Chambers) "The Nature of Robertson" www.peonyden.blogspot.com.au |
