While birding yesterday with Dean Portelli around Perth we found that the male Freckled Duck is still in the south west corner of Herdsman Lake. It was first reported by Rob Davis in early January. A Freckled Duck was at the same location last year until about late May, so hopefully it will stay around.

We found about 80 plus species for the day. The other better sightings for Perth were :

Two Red-eared Firetails and several Red-winged Fairy-wrens at the lawn area of Wungong Gorge.

A pair of Western Yellow Robins at Bungendore State Forest.

A Spotless Crake at Kogolup Swamp.

A Wedge-tailed Eagle at Bibra Lake.
