Territory Duck Season
      16/10/05 10:56 AM

The drier than normal conditions in the Northern Territory this year have concentrated the ducks on a small number of waterholes which have not yet dried up. We had a challenging time the other weekend 'down the track', trying to pick a few teal out from amongst the huge flocks of whistle-ducks, with limited success!

Here's a mixed bag of grey teal and whistlers from an afternoon session on a fast-receeding lagoon:



I managed to snap an interesting pic of this flaring teal by holding the digi-cam on the rib and swinging through the bird. Probably would have shot behind, though, if I'd slapped the trigger!



These photos will give an idea of the enormous numbers of whistle-ducks concentrated on the remaining water:
