Location: Aldinga WashPool swamp.
Cape Barren Goose (Cereopsis novaehollandiae) (16) Nice sized flock of Cape Barren Geese loafing on the swamp
There were multitudes of many species of waterfowl spread right across the swamp. I only had a crappy set of 7X32 binoculars which are always in the car so a call back is strongly recommended.
