The complex ones (Chenonetta jubata)

We'd now got round the bay and stopped at Steppings Pond. Which seems to hold quite a number of species, and plenty of them too.

Here's some Maned Duck, taking absolutely no notice of us, enjoying the taste of fresh grass.

Yes, very complex. They can't decide if they ducks or geese, for they're also call Maned Goose, and also Australian Wood Duck. There are no other members of the Genus either.
