Dear COG chat-line,

On a recent trip to far-western NSW (near Lake Tandou) I saw a strange duck that I can’t identify - see photo below.  (I suspect it might be a shelduck hybrid .. maybe).   In flight, bright white leading edges to the wings were obvious.  It was puddling around in the shallows on an irrigation pond/channel.  I had the impression that it had long legs.

Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.

kind regards,
Murray Delahoy
