High altitude Musk Duck ( out of town )

[shorty <>]

Thanks all,

Philip, Tantangara Reservoir is higher and would be suitable as it it has Yabbies as well, 3 mile dam at 1468 m could be suitable but i am unsure that there would be a suitable food source there.

My geography knowledge is modest but are there many lakes in Aus, (let alone within the geographic range of the Musk Duck), that are at a higher altitude than Lake Eucumbene for a MD to choose, even if it wanted to be observed at a higher altitude than Lake Eucumbene?

A glance at the Atlas of Living Oz does not seem to reveal any higher records - David

G'day all,

 

I was at Lake Eucumbene on the weekend and came across a Musk Duck. The lake is almost 1200 m above sea level and looking at ebird it seems the highest record i can find. The habitat suits them as the lake is full of Yabbies.

 

Just curious if anyone who doesn't use ebird has recorded them at this altitude or higher?
