Blue-billed Duck (Oxyura australis) (1) Six ducks which more interested in social activity with each other than feeding and they would occasionally disappear in the hollow green tubular reeds (I wish I was a botanist AND an ornithologist at times?) and then re-appear. I have visited this lake many times over the years but I think this is my first sighting of this species? Please note that on re-reading my submission, it may be assumed that I’d never seen this species however this is only the case for the Country Park.
