At Kellys swamp today there were about 30 Pink-eared Ducks. Mostly seen in tight pairs doing their characteristic spinning in circles around each other whilst feeding. I was curious at the pairs arrangement and wonder is it part of courtship as well as feeding.

Plus the usual other species, and including one Freckled Duck just in front of Cygnus hide.
