This fish was washed up on Shoal Beach in Princess Royal Harbour. Wondering if this fish was transported from the north west via the Leeuwin Current and then dumped in this area?

grahameDescription
Something I've never seen before.
A clan fight over who is the "Big Puke"
A good 5 min scrap while I was watching and it was going on before.
Started with a show of strength of pushing and raking each others breasts.
Got into full on head picking, feet chomping and other of the birds around stomping.
Also one other fight on the side.
9 birds
The dude with the biggest tarsus won ..........

seen from Bittern Hide an adult carrying a dead rabbit for a meal, another couple of adult Swamphens came along and joined in on the meal. Also saw 2 young from another hide. Have seen a Swamphen drown a duckling and take it back to young to feed on but never seen one with a rabbit.

Laughing Kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae)Observer
miiraleeDescription
We sat at a table by the water with chips and burgers for lunch. A plaque on the table stated not to feed the kookaburras or leave scraps behind.
When we first arrived there were no kookaburras around but it only took a few minutes for one to appear in a tree over our shoulder. It faced away from us and seemed like it was looking for prey rather than chips at first as it was looking around at the ground.
We ate for a few minutes without it bothering us but as soon as neither of us were watching it swooped down from the tree and stole three chips straight out of a hand. It had great aim as it got the chips without touching the fingers at all. It came so close that it's wingtips brushed past our faces. It took the chips into the closest tree to eat.
After it ate the chips it looked down at another family who had just pulled out their lunch as well. The entire time from when it showed up until when we left it didn't make a single sound.
The day was about 24°C, overcast, and quite humid as it had rained a little. The water on the lake was completely still.

Drama. These guys all normally get along pretty well, but here a squirrel decided to start something and nearly got kicked in the head as reward. Moments later they were back to munching sunflower seeds side-by-side again.
