A second hand report of a big flock (~1 000 birds) of Magpie Geese at 
Levy's Point wetland, 4 km west of Warrnambool in far south west coastal 
Victoria.

The Warrnambool Standard newspaper (7 May edition) had a brief story on 
the flock plus a good photo.  It appears the Victorian population of this 
species is currently quite localised with most birds now in western 
Victoria.

I encourage all birdos who make any sightings of Magpie Geese in Victoria 
to pass the observation details onto me.

cheers, Martin
