Freckled Duck on Sydney harbour

Hi Birders, There is a freckled Duck at Snails Bay, Birchgrove as I write this 2:58 26 Sept. There have been extremely strong westerlies blowing in Sydney all morning and the bird was presumably brought in by these. The Snails Bay beach is north facing and very protected from westerlies. the bird seems to be just loafing paddling slowy around in small circles. regards peter marsh. =============================== To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send the message: unsubscribe (in the body of the message, with no Subject line) to: birding-aus-request@vicnet.net.au http://birding-aus.org ===============================
