Notes

Australian coot, Pacific black duck, Chestnut teal, White ibis.

 

Great bird observations once again & interesting (yet explainable) dataset with the low DOs in the deeper salt water layer.  This is seasonally typical however and we should see this flush out soon with the winter rains potentially upon us.  Thanks Jarred.
