As reported by Phil Hansbro, the male Northern
Shoveller was still there at 5.30pm on Tuesday 30/702. The white breast stood
out like a beacon particularly in the fading light. It was roosting at the
far end of the pond but obliged by swimming a short distance.
It was a hard earned tick for all present(John,
Grev and Margaret Reidy and Allan and Robin Benson). A few kms had been put
in to Grafton, South West Rocks and Werribee by various members of this
group chasing this elusive bird.
On past experience the bird never stays put for
long, so makes plans sooner than later.
