Beautiful ducks and great capture. They are very similar to the Fulvous Whistling Ducks in Africa. Three great uploads, many thanks Stanley.

Thanks for answering my question before I asked it Stanley. So you've found a lovely mixed age group then.

I love how they're visible, but half hidden below the grassy bank. A beautiful image, thanks my friend.
