Possible Musk Duck - Yerrabi Pond.

[Murray DELAHOY via Canberrabirds <>]

For those in Gungahlin,

While taking my son for a walk around Yerrabi Pond this afternoon I am 90% sure 
I saw a female musk duck on the main pondage.    I didn’t have my camera and 
the mobile phone picture I took is useless.  The duck was in the middle of the 
pondage but appeared large and had erect tail feathers.    I say 90% because 
there’s a (small) chance it’s a female blue-billed duck if I’ve got my 
impression of size and shape wrong. 

Either way I think this is an unusual sighting at Yerrabi Pond, and I’d be 
interested if anyone else sees it and can settle my doubts about the ID.

cheers
Murray Delahoy
