Hi All,

This morning at Jerra Wetlands I saw two birds flying into the reeds. I only managed to get photos of a female, distant shots but it is the first time I have seen a female with the pinkish flush, Steve Wallice did inform me the females do get the flush last time I spoke with him. Looks like breeding may occur for the second season in a row.

Pics on my eBird list.
