Acc to wiki this duck is nomadic only to Queensland so we were very lucky to see a few of them. Two in total from what I remember. It has a special flat bill. Reminding of the Northern shoveler.
And the Freckled duck was only one bird
Thanks Stewart for correcting me. .

Pear eared duck, now that is a weird name. Can you see a pink ear? Great shots! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of these before, very pretty!
ReplyDeleteNice pictures of the ducks. Pretty sure that first one is a Freckled Duck.
