Last weekend at several wetlands near Kerang, duck rescuers found the following
protected species:
Little Raven -1
Australasian Grebe - 1
Musk Duck - 2
Pied? Cormorant - 1 (Any help with ID would be appreciated)
Five swan eggs were collected.
Musk Ducks rarely fly so it must be assumed these two were shot on the water.
'Game' species - about 17 old, 7 freshly shot
Dozens of game species were also found blown to pieces in a sustained, one-hour
shooting session that occured after dark.
Among 68 duck heads found were Pink-eared Ducks, Shovelers, both Teals, and
Shelducks.

Wetlands visited were McDonald Swamp, The Marshes and Lake William.
Duck shooting season is nearing its end (13 June). Let's make sure it's the
last.
