From the Sunshine Coast hinterland ,S.E.QLD. Saw a male
and female Austalasian Shoveler this morning at Ewan Maddock dam.They
were cruising around with a dozen Hardheads and a lone Grey Teal. Also saw a
female Musk Duck nearby, diving and and later resting.Both were new sightings
for me.
The area was just north of Landsborough, western side of of
the Glasshouse Mtns road where it crosses
the lake. Got great views through the scope from
the southern end of the wildflower walk.I have also seen
Great Crestd Grebe in this area recently. If anyone
interested wants more info please e-mail or phone
54948876. Happy birding ! John Kooistra, Landsborough,
Qld.
