Our Sunday stroll at our favorite spot, although Kengo was too busy searching and eating food scrap from the ground...
Have a peaceful Sunday.

🌏 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)

Ducks were once a conservation bright spot. Now they’re declining in the U.S., new report shows.

A northern shoveler takes off with a splash! Alexandria, Virginia, USA 11-MAR-2025. (Please view full size) #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography #ducks

A northern shoveler duck is seen in flight moments after taking off from a pond, leaving a large splash in the water behind it. There is good reflection of the duck in the relatively still water of the pond. The duck has a dark blue head, yellow eyes, brown sides and belly, white upper body. There are ares of lighter blue and green in the wings as well.

Good morning! Ducks at dawn, Ngurrungurrudjba, Kakadu (not on a wall) #photography #dawn #birds #BIF #silhouette #ducks #cloudscape #scape #PhotographersUnited #NotIronic #EastCoastKin

Three ducks in flight, in silhouette against diffuse dawn clouds in oranges and greys. It is almost a parody of the three ducks on a wall, however there is a grace and elegance about these shapes.

Happy #Wochenente!

I started this with the goal of creating 8 duck pictures.
I'm proud I achieved it. And since November and December are usually two very busy months for me, I will stop at this point. Maybe pick it up again when I feel like it.
I was playing with the idea of making magnets for my fridge with the ducks, but the intended magnets are out of stock right now. I will send you an update on that.
