The Pink-eared Duck Malacorhynchus membranaceus has to be my favourite duck! For obvious reasons it has listed under “other names” in field guides “Zebra Duck” and it is easily identified from all other duck species in Australia by its distinct stripes. Pink-eared Ducks high and dry.

I then noticed there were actually some ducks tucked in against the tufts of vegetation. They were out of the wind and I asked Grant if he could see the two ducks. He could see them once I pointed them out and we moved slowly forward to see the pair of Pink-eared Ducks. Pink-eared Ducks out of the wind. Pink-eared Ducks.

The distance around the lake is approximately five kilometres and there are limited places to shelter if a storm approaches fast. Map of the lake Some of the waterbirds and ducks appeared to be used to the cold weather and water, but maybe they would rather bob about on the water than be blown about on the land.

The header photo shows the remains of Marlgu Billabong on November 10th 2018 looking left from the shelter. Marlgu Billabong looking right from the shelter. We soon positioned ourselves in the shelter to watch the birdlife and there was no denying it was a hot and dry day and the shade was appreciated. Camp spot under the boabs.

There is a small shelter and picnic bench at this location and depending on visibility you may or may not be able to see the coast! The weather has not been very warm at all in this part of Australia despite it being summer and we have been fortunate to have not been affected by the awful bush-fires.

Also on the ground you’ll see your first Finsch’s Duck. This attractive relative of Australia’s Maned Duck is the most common duck you’ll see on the tour, but visitors always love seeing them and their ubiquity doesn’t detract from their attractiveness. It certainly has no known relatives.

The National Park is unusual because it offers very few facilities compared to most, but there is a sealed road right into the small car park and a shade shelter with a table and chairs and information about the park. The Silver Gulls, Caspian, Gull-billed and Whiskered Terns were further away and the variety of ducks was incredible.
