It is quite decomposed but unmistakeable. This is the species list for birds found on McDonalds Swamp and Hird Swamp. Game ducks: Hardhead – 12 Grey Teal – 7 Pacific Black Duck – 1 Protected species: Blue-billed Duck Magpie Purple Swamphen Eurasian Coot – 3 Totalling 20 ducks, shot and illegally left on the water and six protected species. This cruel ‘sport’ is one that all birdwatchers should abhor. It’s as bad as the cattle torture in Indonesia, except no one’s there to bear witness. Please write to the premier and express your views.
