Birdpedia – Australia – Weekly Digest

The following is a digest of Sightings Reported on Birdpedia for the period Monday, February 16, 2015 to Sunday, February 22, 2015: Area: SA Location: Laratinga Wetlands, Mount Barker Australasian Shoveler (Anas rhynchotis) (30) About 10 of these birds were feeding in rotating groups (vortex feeding), in the same way that Pink-eared Ducks are known to do. The Shovelers were on the sewage settling ponds with Pink-eared Ducks. Have they learned this behaviour from watching the Pinkies or has this behaviour been observed before in Shovelers? Comments please. Reported by: Paul Lloyd on Sunday, February 22, 2015 ——————————————— Need more information about a sighting? Login and contact the poster directly.
