We don't get many Blue-billed Ducks up this way, but there have been two males
and two females at Lake Galletly on the UQ Gatton campus for a while now.
When I was there on Thursday, I saw one good male and a female, but I'm a bit
unsure about another bird I saw.
I've put some photos at http://www.abberton.org/holding.htm and would value
hearing from those who are more familiar with Blue-billed Ducks than I am,
particularly about the bird in photos numbered 3 to 7.
To see a Blue-billed Duck in the Lockyer Valley is an infrequent event, I'm not
aware of any local breeding records in the last 30 years.
All observations will be gratefully received.
