Maned Duck (or Goose) (Chenonetta jubata)

One of the alternative names for these is Maned Goose, and you can see from the bill how it got to be called that.

I think it's now generally accepted to be a duck (but don't quote me on that LOL)

Whatever, I think these are really attractive guys.

He's melting away into
those ripples, D., like an
ice cube in a gin and tonic.
You took him just in time.
A Quacker of a shot, though (to nick a line from Mali).
