Freckled Duck

["Bill Moorhead" <>]

Hello all,

 

A single Freckled Duck is at the large lagoon

in the Bundaberg Botanical Gardens.

Seen with 2 Hardhead and mingling with a

family of Maned Geese near the centre of the lagoon.

 

No red on the bill base so I think is a female.

I've not seen one for 15 years .This is the first I've

seen hereabouts and is probably indicative of the

 drought conditions just about everywhere.

 

Cheers,

 

Bill
