A character doing some dreaming in small wetlands near my home in the Dromana Hills.
(I have tried to find out what this bird is but still don't know!)
Lord of the wetlands
Wanders a lonely journey
Always attracts space
P.S. It appears that this is a white Muscovy duck! It is most unusual to see a Muscovy in the chilly climes - apart from summer - of the Mornington Peninsula.
They are more farm ducks than creek/wetland ducks.
Most unusual to see them in Australia when they originate in the more tropical areas of Brazil and Mexico.
For more details of another sighting in Australia outside Brisbane Queensland, see HERE!
There is even a wartime story about a Muscovy Duck called Corporal Haggis who fought in World War 2.
