They migrate north through the Western United States, breeding in pockets all the way up through Canada. Compare that to the water body’s other regulars – Canada Geese – that reach “only” 43 inches with a wingspan of nearly 67 inches. Did I mention they’re huge?

Whilst enjoying the Magpie Geese breeding around Broome recently we also noticed a Magpie-lark nest close to the highway in one of the very few trees beside the road. While we had been waiting one of the young had raised itself up and let its waste drop outside the nest. She waited for a moment and flew in towards the nest.

Over the past few months there have been a lot of birds breeding around Broome with the excellent rain events that we have been having and the vegetation is at long last revived. The open plains are now busy with young Magpie Geese and numerous other waterbirds and the Sharp-tailed Sandpipers are busy feeding up before migration.

After a very good Wet Season with substantially more rain than normal over the first few months of 2017 the land was flooded and a huge variety of birds arrived in the Broome area to take advantage of the ideal conditions for breeding. The Australian Painted Snipe nest was positioned on higher ground in between the fence and the highway.

In being wonderfully obvious, such birds become avian ambassadors, special “signature” species with the potential to raise bird awareness, to reconnect crucial links between people and the nature that surrounds them, with the ecosystems they partake in. In northern habitats, they could be Common Ravens, geese , or chickadees.

It migrates north to breed in the tundra where it nests on the ground close to shallow pools. I am unable to say why some of the ducks swim with their tails raised while others allow it to trail behind them in the water. The females do not carry the long tail plumes and reminded me slightly of Cotton Pygmy geese.
