Freckled Duck

Freckled Duck (Stictonetta naevosa)

Australia's rarest duck, listed as Vulnerable in South Australia. Turns up at Laratinga from time to time.

I've finally finished editing three videos - here's one with Lyn whom I've been accompanying for over 20 years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgS6RPKwyVM
