Hi all,
I received some photos from Suzanne Lollback of 9 Plumed
Whistling-Ducks at Lake Wallace on Thursday (8th January). Lake
Wallace is at Wallerawang near Lithgow in NSW and in many years of
visiting the lake it's the first time I've been aware of them being
there. As it happens I called in at the lake yesterday (9th) but
there was no sign of them then.
This is interesting after the dozen reported from Wentworth Falls
Lake (in the Blue Mountains 45km SE of Lake Wallace) on Christmas
Eve. That was only the second record of PWDs in the Blue Mountains.
By the way, at Lake Wallace yesterday there was a single female
Blue-billed Duck, at least a couple of Latham's Snipe, and the usual
Musk Ducks, Great Crested Grebes, etc. The water level has dropped
and looks suitable for seeing crakes again.
Cheers,
Carol
