G'day Alan
You get often flocks of swan in the shallow / southern parts of Moreton
Bay in SEQ.
Regards, Laurie.

Greetings All,
A mate, Lloyd Perkins of Malanda, has reported the sightings in blue.
We have just returned from Mission Beach where we had three weeks
holiday! Fantastic to drop off the planet for a few weeks but wow, my
brain is mush this week. Thought I'd report (as far as I know) an
unusual sighting ! On Saturday 17/01/04 saw a Black Swan - 400m out
to sea off the southern tip of Dunk Island. We approach as quietly as
possible - I thought that perhaps it was injured. It flew off out to
sea honking ! I assume it is a lost bird and will probably be a dead
bird.
I know it is common for Black Swans to utilize marine habitat in New
Zealand but how common is it here in Aus?
