I found another Pink-eared duck... this one fully alert and posing well too.

Unfortunately the ear is a bit in the shade, so the pinkness of it doesn't really show. Sorry.

I still can see a very feint pink ear in this great close up D! Nicely captured girl!

Lovely Delia. First time I have come across these birds. And the bill is huge compared to the size of the bird. TFS.
