Mallard reseen!

Post by gileas »

Hi all,

Despite the pet duck I saw at Helidon Spa, I've now managed to find not one but two wild Mallards in SEQ. The first was at the City Botanic Gardens in Brisbane, where there has been a long-standing population of Mallards. The second, and probably more reasonable bird was a wild bird near Coominya at -27.420652,152.491339 flying wild and free with a bunch of Pacific Black Ducks. The wetland at this site is in amazing condition and I really wouldn't be surprised if someone turned up a Wood Sandpiper or Painted Snipe or something here at some point before it dries out.

Regards,
Chris Sanderson
