Hi all,
On Friday morning (22nd Nov) I saw a lone female
Australian Shelduck (Mountain Duck) on the shore beside Dora Ck at Avondale
(Central Coast NSW). This is close to the Northern limit of this species' range
and is the first one I've seen in this area, although I remember one being
reported at Fennnel Bay on Lake Macquarie in the late 80s early 90s. I was
struck by its large size relative to the Black Ducks, Teal and Hardheads nearby.
Has anybody tried domesticating this species (or any Australian
ducks)?
