Green Pygmy Goose (Nettapus pulchellus)

Pretty much guaranteed in the Northern Territory coastal lagoons and inland billabongs. This small duck ranges from South New Guinea to Northern Australia. Not always easy to find close in though...

It does look quite small and it is quite a good lucking duck which you captured beautifully.

A very attractive duck and a well detailed study.

Marvelous low camera angle and a great profile of this Green Pygmy Goose with an excellent reflection. Top-marks Chris!

You've got some lovely plumage detail on this guy Chris.

Not a species we see too much of in here really, so obviously a great find for you lad. Very well done and many thanks for showing him to us.
