g'Day all
We returned to Caroowinnie Waterhole S 28 47.90, E 140 10.00, Strzelecki
Desert on 02/08/2007 hoping to photograph Water Whistle Duck,
Dendrocygna arcuata that were present on our previous trip on 11th
July. On this occasion however, 23 Plumed Whistle Duck Dendrocygna
eytoni, were present but the WWD had gone. Although initially timid,
the birds took to the air and circled in a tight segregated flock for
several minutes before settling to the water and allowing a much closer
approach. Also present were two Freckled Duck with many hundreds of
Pink-eared Duck, some with downy young and also Grey Teal (250+) and
two Australian (Blue-winged Shoveller) with 10+ Black Duck. We
obtained some reasonable photo's.
