I believed this was a Freckled Duck until i consulted the distribution in Pizzey. A more knowledgeable friend confirms it. We have two other shots one in a crowd of Pink-eared Duck.

Eastern Barn OwlHomestead park, Thornlie
Seen at 8pm whilst spotlighting in our local park on a low bough at 10 meters, perfect! Seemed quite comfortable with our presence. Had heard a few classic screeches earlier when walking the dogs, so decided to return with the spotlight. Also Boobook heard but not seen.
