Hi All
Mornington Peninsula Bird Observers today
(10/12/03) visited the Somers Waste Water Ponds (Postcode 3927) - access is
resticted. Weather warm and windy. Forty two species recorded with
highlights being all the ducks you would expect to find in our area -
Blue-billed Duck, Musk Duck, Aust. Shelduck, Aust.Wood Duck, Pacific Black
Duck, Aust. Shoveller, Grey Teal, Chestnut Teal, Pink-eared Duck and Hardhead.
Only Freckled Duck missing and you don't expect this species too often.
Others included Great-crested Grebe, fairly unusual. Our total for
the site is 62 species.
