Hi,
Alan Collins and John Graff very kindly provided specific information about the
bird, its location and images. We've put these up on Bird-O Online at
http://birdo.wildiaries.com/trips/10261.
Happy birding!
Simon Mustoe.

> Several people have been to see the bird this morning (Wed 21st). It
> flushed and Alan Collins got a good photo of it in flight to confirm
> that it is a female Northern Pintail.
>
> Directions. Head down to Mandurah (about 1 hr south of Perth) and
> take Mandurah Road over the new Mandurah Estuary Bridge. You will see
> the lakes on your left but you can't turn left until about 1km at
> Sticks Boulevard. Then turn left at Abbotswood Parkway and continue
> until the end where you will see the lake.
>
> This morning the bird was first located on the island to the right (I
> walked left about 90% of the way around before I found it of
> course!!). It then flew into that corner of the lake. Then it flew
> away to the south. We walked over to a smaller lake with typha and
> relocated it in the back corner behind the typha reeds.
>
> It is quite nervous. It doesn't hang around with the other birds.
> When black ducks swam close, it moved away.
