Bathing in the fog
My first venture into the slightly wetter wetlands came with a few obstacles.
A very cold, fog‑laden morning greeted me and every reasonable parking and access point had been cordoned off by construction workers. Still, where there’s a will, there’s a way.
Picking my way through the mist, I was rewarded with a small flock of Pacific Black Ducks enthusiastically bathing in the fog.

Just on the ABC News:
The Pacific Black Duck is under threat from hybridisation with introduced domestic mallard ducks, a process experts say has already wiped out populations in New Zealand, as well as Lord Howe Island and Norfolk Island in Australia.
