that's a very attractive photo Mike
I love the colours and details in the plumage.
Certainly a beautiful species
That look in its eye is intriguing. Not sure what to make of that Summing you up?

Thank you kindly Richard. We have three species of teal (green-winged, Blue-winged, and Cinnamon) and each of them are quite attractive ducks, at least in my opinion. I'm not sure about the look in the eye, except that they often squint or close their eye(s) while preening their feathers. I think I caught this guy just as he was about to close it.

Yellow-tailed Black-Cockatoo ~ Calyptorhynchus funereus
a group of these lobbed up at lunch time and muttered away outside the house.
I wandered out and grabbed a few photos before they eventually flew off.
This is right outside our house about 10 metres from it

What a nice shot of this Yellow-tailed Black-Cockatoo, Richard! They are an attractive bird, and they appear to be fairly large.

That is one sweet image of a beautiful teal, Mike! You're whetting my appetite for ducks (I'm impatiently waiting).

I really appreciate your very kind, uplifting compliment, Steve. Thank you very much.

What a lovely shot of these two Yellow-tailed Black-Cockatoos Richard! It must have been a really thrill having them so near your home.

Yes it was a really nice feeling to be privileged with their presence.

They are a decent size. 55-65 cm, 22-26".
