Magpie geese nesting at Bamurru Plains

The floodplains are alive with birds pairing off for the breeding season.  The Magpie geese have been very busy making nests and laying their eggs.  

Magpie geese nest on the ground and have a typical clutch of 5-14 eggs.  Most males have two partners who share the one nest and all help in raisng the young. We expect to see the chicks hatching soon.
