Hi, on Thursday afternoon at 4.20 pm I counted 67 PLWHDU at Trucking Yard Lane dam, none at B'dore Meadows Dam and none at B'dore Sewage Treatment Works. Just a handful of shelducks at the Meadows dam and two at the Sewage Works. One Royal Spoonbill at the Sewage works which was nice.
Unusually, about 15 PLWHDU were grazing in the grass (looks like bare ground) close to the dam. As Julienne said, some were in the water, just floating though, I did not see any on-water feeding.

Plumed Whistlers There were approx 50 Plumed Whistling Ducks on or around the Trucking Yard dam yesterday, Thursday, evening at 6pm. Many were foraging in the dam itself. This is the first time I have observed them eating. I believe there were some at Kellys at the same time.
Shelducks There were also at least 100 Shelducks around the Bungendore Meadow dam. There seemed plenty of both male and female but I did not have time to do a proper count of the two sexes Julienne
