I had occasion to visit the Village that Woolworths Rejected this morning and found inter alia 25 Plumed Whistling Ducks (PWD) on the Trucking Yard Lane Dam.   This sighting also answered in part what they feed on, when one of the cattle provided a large serve of hay residue into the water.  I regret I didn't didn't get a photograph of this incident but I suspect it is not uncommon as a good proportion of the ducks, including at least one PWD immediately arrived in the area and began dabbling.

​The cow in the image is not the provider of nutrients.
