Hi all,
Last week Russell Woodford reported a Shelduck with different markings and suggested it had a likeness to a Cape Shelduck. Joy Tansey and I relocated the bird this morning at low tide on rocks in the bay half way between the Murtcain Outlat and Kirks point ( 38º 02′ 14″ S 144º 38′ 02″ E ). It was with a flock of Aus Shelduck but remained on the outer edges of the flock.
I have put images of the bird on my blog at the address below. Quite few were taken and I might add a few more later today or tomorrow.
cheers
