You're welcome Tony. I see these types of ducks every day at my local lake (if it's not dried up), so very lucky I guess. It was bone dry for a while until the 30th March when we copped over 40mm of rain (1.5 inches) overnight and it filled the lake. The ducks came back and all is good again! Here's a comparison. BEFORE/AFTER
G'day Craig. The Tasmanian ecology supports many varieties and large numbers of birds, which is rather heartening and good news.
