Howdy Folks,
This evening I am hearing the calls of Maned Ducks, I am assuming in
one of the nearby Eucalypts by the direction of the calls. I've
heard it 3 or 4 times this evening so far. It is unusual in that I
think it is about the third time I have ever heard their call here in
Higgins in the nearly 18 years I have lived here. Are they on the
move at present, or would they be looking for nesting hollows or
something now? No water anywhere near here at all, unless you count
the odd garden pond (there is a frog habitat pond a half block away,
but I doubt it would be any use to the ducks)?
Anyway, unusual enough for here that I thought I would mention
it. Sorry if this is regarded as a pointless post by any viewers.
Cheers.
Paul T.
Higgins, ACT.
