That's interesting Chris. When I lived in Alice Springs in the late-1970s,
feral dogs were a continual problem in the poo ponds area. I had a few
narrow escapes from very vicious animals. It appears the problem is
long-standing, though I wasn't aware of them killing birds at that time.

G'day All,
Having narrowly avoided being attacked by a pack of four wild dogs recently
when I turned up a little bit too early in the morning to look for the
Australian Painted Snipe at Alice Poo Ponds, I can't say I'm all that
surprised.
It looks like we are starting to loose some of our resident swans to feral
dogs which live next door around the Ilparpa Swamp.
