Hi Richard.

This is a male "Australian Shelduck".

Also known as the "Chestnut-breasted Shelduck" or "Mountain Duck".

Sorry, I was not able to PM you to make the correction.

Oops, yes it is. My goof and very much appreciate your correction :-)
I've fixed that now.

As a kid I knew them by Mountain Duck and not until I came onto here did I discover their other names.

Poor thing, deserves proper name, whilst the Teal is very pretty, these are above them in the beauty department IMO.

Many thanks Mike
One thing so nice about them is the way they swim about unseen and sound off a very distinct and succinct 'quack'
Gives them away

A Mallard drake coming in at sunset. Taken with the 1DIIN which I believe had all of 8 mp. :-P I took it 10 years ago but it’s still a favourite of mine.
