Plumed Whistling ducks

Went down to Beaudesert today and on a dam on Bromelton Road found these whistling ducks - quite big flocks of them, and on the dam itself was this lovely little family!

 

Unfortunately it was a big dam and they were a long way off - still, I like the picture.

I love the photo Meave, a bit like a train with little carriages . I'm not sure if I have seen those kind of duck before? Will have to pay more attention next time I see ducks.

Thanks Araminta - had no idea how to fix that, didn't work the way I'm accustomed to. We have looked for those ducks (plumed whistling ducks) for ages, got them in Mackay and since then they have been everywhere down the coast! these were at Beaudesert (south of Brisbane).

Hi soakes, sorry, it was you who fixed the link for me - saw Araminta's post and got it wrong. Thanks a lot for doing that. Wish I was better on computers.

Nice timing to get such a lovely family shot. I've seen that with other water birds
