    Artificial

    In contrast to the introduced pigeon finding its natural environment, here we have an endemic duck adapting to an artificial lake. Spectacular water, but it doesn't look to have a lot for dabbling ducks to eat, does it?

    NZ Scaup close-up

    As I headed towards the park exit to take a walk around the town center, I passed a stream where I had a close view to some NZ Scaup. They were diving, as Scaup will do, but I did get this one shot of one, close by and in decent light.

    New Zealand Scaup (Female)

    Endemic, also known as Black Teal or Papango. My field guide describes this cute little teal as having a rounded toy rubber duckie profile. Female is rather browner and without the distinguishing golden yellow eye of the male. But I rather liked the water reflections in this shot.
