I received a report tonight (29/12) from Marcus Singor that the Freckled
Ducks at Maurice Hamer Park at Herdsman Lake have now increased to between
95 and 120.
How do they all know to turn up there in one place? There have only been
up to 3 there over summer the past few years? Bigger numbers (30+) have
tended to go to Lake Carine in previous years but this may be dry by
now. Why don't they spread themselves over all the other wetlands (e.g.
Lake Joondalup, Bayswater Bird Sanctuary, Bibra Lake, Kogolup Lake, Lake
Monger, Booragoon Lake, etc)?
