I would think fairly obviously, yes. Though I’d give Con the benefit of the thinking it is a wrong word rather than a wrong identification.

Con,

isn’t that a Water Rat - (Hydromys chrysogaster)?

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
