Plumed whistling ducks

[Kim Farley via Canberrabirds <>]

An interesting thought David, and I have noticed that the Trucking Yard Lane Whistling Ducks do disappear from time to time. (I tend to visit Bungendore most months.) It would be nice though if they turned up more often in key birding spots in the ACT - if only to engage the strong interest of ACT birders!  More seriously though, Martin Butterfield or Michael Lenz (and others of course) might have thoughts on the movements of the species in our area (ie COG's NSW area of interest). It could be that they circulate between areas birders visit and areas birders can't access. Goodness knows. I do notice dry period/wet period movement of the species in other areas of NSW I visit.

None at Trucking  Yard Lane yesterday – they haven’t been reported there since Kim Farley’s 18 Nov visit.

I wonder (again) if the Jerra birds have come from TYL? I just wish a banded whistling-duck would turn up there!

Just saw five disappearing over bank down to water at Fyshwick sewage ponds. Pond directly across from Kelly’s
