Musky (Biziura lobata)

Moving a bit further along the pond, the water became less overgrown and there on the far side, was my first Lifer of the day.

Musk Duck and not only that but it was an adult (female I think) feeding a duckling.

A rather odd looking species, particularly the male.

Oh joy!
