There have been Freckled Duck on the large QSW (ACT) pond for most of the year.  I checked just now and there was at least one, along with 90 Pink-ears.  This is half the distance to Gungahlin, measured from the National Parliament.  None of this is intended to belittle the splendid Gungahlin Freckled Duck which will no doubt allow more intimate views.

Hi All,

 

Special thanks to John Harris for his information and generous assistance regarding the freckled duck at Gungahlin.

Finally managed to see it on my return visit to the pond .... my first freckled duck!

 

Cheers

Julie

Thanks for the photo Tobias. I have been reporting this duck for a week or two now and glad someone with a decent camera has captured it!

Adds to the point I frequently make that Gungahlin has interesting sites for birding and more than its share of rare species.

A rather obliging Freckled Duck at The Valley Ponds (intersection of The Valley Avenue and Gungahlin Drive) this morning. 

 

Cheers
