Wandering Whistling Duck

Post by Bill Jolly »

Two Wandering Whistling Ducks diving in the creek in front of the house first thing this-morning (9 December,2012). When I scanned, I found another eight sitting quietly among the lilypads. Eventually, I counted 17 on view - probably more out of sight closer to the near bank.

Still here at dusk.

This is our second only record of Wandering Whistlers at Abberton, previous record being 10 December last year.
