One of my fave Ducks.

Love the crazy colours that these chaps have and how the sun makes the iridescent on the head, wings and the rear shimmer

On the fave list for a lot of us too, and this image shows why :)
Brilliant details and color.

Nit - The whites around the neck do look a little hot, but with a bird with so many hues - hard to control

Excellent capture! I think that is the most colorful example of the species I've ever seen. John
