Magpie Geese feeding their young.

I came across these this morning in a very dirty looking channel at Sandy Camp Road Wetland in Brisbane. It took a lot of shots to get a few clear shots with the birds facing the right way - more or less.

The adults were pulling foul looking weed from the bottom, eating some and giving some to the young.

I'm still going through them but these look the best so far

Hi Alan

What looks foul to us obviously is nice-n-ezy for the birds .... well I suppose so anyway
Good and sharp images from you again

Thanks Phil. Quality of weed my subjective opinion only - the birds seemed to be enjoying it.

Lovely family photos Alan. Good time of year to get these shots. Happening here as well, especially with the coots.

Thanks Isac. It’s somewhat unusual for Magpie Geese nesting here.
