Northern Shoveler Eclipse

["calyptorhynchus ." <>]

To answer my own question, this largely takes place during breeding, or at least the replacement of the flight feathers and the flightless phase.

So our northern shoveler won’t be immobile, which could explain why it’s gone missing from the ACT!
