The Australian Woodduck is sometimes called a Maned Goose & is not the same species as the Northern Hemisphere Woodduck. They are very common & can often be seen in hundreds feeding on the banks around farm dams (ponds). Downloading is recommended.

You had me worried for a moment! At first I thought I didn't know what a Woodduck was! Then I saw the word "Australian". Not quite as colorful as the American Woodduck but your last shot shows just how regal they can look. Very nice shots.

Yes, your Woodduck is a beautiful bird & our Woodduck is quite drab in comparison. They are related in name only. Earl.

Lovely images, Earl. Just this morning, I saw and shot my VERY first wood duck (North American) ever. Had a friend with me and it was a first for her, too. We were two very thrilled people. We’re hoping that more will show up soon.
Thank you for sharing.
