Magpie Goose

Anseranas semipalmata

Description:

Black and white plumage, yellow legs. Distinctive 'honking' call.

Habitat:

Billabong at Centenary Lakes, Cairns QLD

Notes:

Mating pair. Nest close by. As one would 'duck-dive' for vegetative matter from the lilies, the other would keep watch. They were very aware of the people walking past the billabong, and if they got too close, the geese would move to a safe distance.
