Hi All,

 In addition to the Pink-eared Ducklings on Mulligan's Big Dam, there are also Grey Teal ducklings .... 9 when I last managed to count them and a brood of Pacific Black Ducks that I spotted today with at least 6 very young offspring. In the front dam is a Wood Duck family with 7 ducklings. Further south of the Big Dam in a new part of the reserve is another small dam and a Wood Duck family with 5 ducklings. 

Also, a sighting I found interesting today was a Magpie -lark sitting on a nest near the Big Dam. I know now that ducks breed after rain, but is this common for other species?
