A Swamp Rat can now be seen from time to time swimming around Crace Pond.
When the Coot see it on the surface, they follow it from a distance.
Also present this morning: Coot, Dusky Moorhen, Wood Duck (copulating yesterday), Non-Pacific Black Duck (quite a ferocious fight between two of them this morning), Purple Swamphen.
regards
Con
