Took these at Gum Swamp near Forbes on Saturday. The main goal was to find a Pink-eared Duck and yay! There were heaps of them.
Pink-eared Duck:
Darter:
Most of the waterbirds were too far away to get decent shots but I did see this Little Friarbird:
And this Juvenille Peregrine Falcon:
These are all first time sightings for me so please correct me if I'm wrong on any of the ID's.
Enjoy!

Nice shots, well done getting the Pink-eared Duck. Isn't it great when you target something and actually find it!
Cheers, Owen.
