Another Black and white Lifer (Anseranas semipalmata)

Towards the top end of 'Jacana' Lake, Ken spotted a pair of Magpie Geese in the long undergrowth on the other side.

Not the prettiest of geese maybe, but they are an ancient family, having diverged from dinosaurs before they became extinct. Amazing.

Hard to fathom that a bird could evolve from a dinosaur and so very interesting.

Congrats on your lifer girl and this great record shot!
