Australian Wood Ducks – Sue Forster
Also of note, our data is confirming that new birds are acclimatising to revegetated wetland habitat in Chain of Ponds areas E (north-east) and F (south-west), with a potential shift in distribution and an increase in bird populations in these sections. Congratulations to all those dedicated volunteers who laboured over propagating, planting and protecting the vegetation to get it to this stage of maturity. A highlight in Area E was a whole group sighting of a Brown Quail sheltering among the sedges by Pond 2. Although it was previously photographed for Yalukit Willam Association Facebook, this was its first survey record.
