You have to look carefully, because often there are Australasian Grebes and Green Pygmy-Geese amongst the ducks and lilies. The Magpie Geese have been known to breed in the area and sometimes you will observe them amongst the lilies, but sometimes they are perched in the trees at the end of the wetland. Ducks at Munkajarra Wetland.
