Blue-billed Ducks at Lake Galletly SEQ

["Steve" <>]

Hi all. On 18th Jan I visited Lake Galletly in SEQ. I was pleased to note
that the number of Blue-billed Ducks seems to be on the increase. There were
at least 4 males, 2 females and one juvenile present. However, I found it a
bit disturbing to see just the lone duckling. Would this be indicative of a
high mortality rate? I would be very interested to know if other birders
have seen more ducklings prior to this. I have loaded a trip report with
photos on Wildiaries if anyone is interested
