Ducks etc
Musk Duck
Freckled Duck
Image by Garry Moffitt.
Nesting in June 2012 on Hoskinstown Plain,
Male on left, female on right (note white at base of the female's beak).
A very spiffy image by Kim McKenzie.
The female is on the left and the male on the right.
It is very unusual to be able to see the pink patch behind the eye. I like the alternate common name "Zebra Duck" much better, but that has probably been rejected as confusing with a finch!
