One of the first birds I saw was a Black-tailed Nativehen. These birds are an irruptive species, normally seen in large flocks, and are usually very wary. As long as I stayed still, this one was happy to fossick around only a few metres from me.
I found the Pink-eared ducks on a small reed fringed pool, and again, they were quite happy as long as I kept my distance.
There were also plenty of more common species, including Purple Swamphen, Little Grebe, Maned Duck, Coot, Pacific Black Duck and Little Pied Cormorant.
