Blue billed duck

Taken yesterday afternoon at Tomato lake,male and female Blue billed duck.
Been having line trouble with my internet server and been off line for a while,surprising how much your emails mount up when you don't delete them every day.

Both very nice images Raoul. Never have I seen or heard the likes of such a duck.

Nice picture. I have never heard of these birds either. I wonder how they got their name? ;-)

Are these birds rare, or only in a limited range? Wait, I'll look it up myself.... hmm it looks like I should know about them! I may have some in my own back yard!
