Staying warm

Alopochen aegyptiaca (Egyptian goose / Nilgans)

An aegyptian goose on a lawn with three tiny goslings hiding their heads under their parent’s wings in order to conserve warmth. The adult goose holds its wings wide and low in a protective manner.

A couple of weeks ago I had a beautiful foggy morning to shoot waterfowl and I am very happy with the way this shot turned out! I hope you like it as much as I do.

Vertical format. The water line is about 1/5 from the top. On the water line is a lone silhouetted duck on the left and facing right. There is a lot of fog on the water and above it is pitch black. Below the duck is more fog blending into a reflection of the trees in the background with the golden glow of sunrise extending to the bottom.

🌏 Australian wood duck (Chenonetta jubata) ♀

The Australian wood duck, maned duck, or maned goose is a medium-sized duck resembling a small goose. Females have brown heads with distinct white stripes above and below their eyes, and mottled underparts. Males feature a dark brown head with a small mane, a grey body, and a mottled breast. They are widely distributed across mainland Australia, favouring grasslands, woodlands, and shallow wetlands. Unlike many ducks, they primarily graze on land, often in flocks, and are frequently seen perching in trees. Their calls include croaky "gnow" sounds, with females having a louder, rising call.

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)
