Ducks etc

Musk Duck

Freckled Duck

Black Swan
 Nesting in June 2012 on Hoskinstown Plain,
Australian Shelduck
 Male on left, female on right (note white at base of the female's beak).
A very spiffy image by Kim McKenzie.
Australian Wood Duck
The female is on the left and the male on the right.
Pink-eared Duck
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!

Australasian Shoveler
Grey Teal
Chestnut Teal
Pacific Black Duck

Hardhead
