18/10/24	FERRUGINOUS DUCK	Willen Lake North, Willen Lakes	1	R D Andrews
16:05	male. Asleep most of the time amongst a group of Tufteds just to the east of the island. Best viewed from footbridge between the two lakes. I was a bit concerned the head is too rounded but a few times it has woken up and shown a more peaked crown. Plumage wise it looks spot on.
