I think that might be a pair of mallards. While they are lovely birds, I think they might be considered pests.

These mallards are an of an impure breed which have clearly been released here in mid-June this year.
Canberra Nature Map does not yet have the capacity to take bird sightings. You can report birds here: http://ebird.org/content/australia/
I'm glad to have another person mapping Fadden and Waniassa Hills!! Its not just me now :)
