Wee fluff b*m
Excuse the language, couldn't think of a better title at the time LOL. There were a few of these foraging under the watchful eye of mum Maned Duck. Think I may have told you before about their confused nomenclature, variously known as Maned Goose and Australian Wood Duck.- delia todd

An attractive oddity
This is the one that's not sure if it's duck or goose. They are on the large size for a duck and appear to have the bill of a goose. This means that they are the only representatives in the genus Chenonetta (making this a monotypic genus). Maned Ducks are fairly widespread in Australia.- delia todd

Grazer
The last picture of our trip out was a Maned Duck chomping on the grass beside Oyster Harbour. These poor ducks, no-one seems to know what they are, as an alternative name for them is Maned Goose! A very interesting and full day, actually as were most days of my trip LOL.- delia todd

The complex ones
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...- delia todd

Before breakfast
Up early so I went out for a wander down to the river front to see what else had risen. On the grass in front of the ferry were a Maned Duck and Eurasian Coot grazing companionably.- delia todd

An oddity
The Maned Duck is so unusual, it's the only species in the Genus. The short bill makes it look like a goose, so an alternative name is Maned Goose. However it's also known as a Australian Wood Duck . Makes life difficult, doesn't it. But I don't mind - I think they're really handsome. Doc has...- delia todd

Muddled....
.... and who can blame Maned Ducks for that!!! They've two other common names, one of which is Maned Goose! So people can't decide what family they belong to LOL. Hence the scientific name of Chenonetta is a monotypic genus, meaning no other species shares it. Lengthening shadows meant the...- delia todd

Maned Duck (Chenonetta jubata)
The Australian Wood Duck, Maned Duck or Maned Goose Duck (Chenonetta jubata), as the name suggests it has Australian origins. Therefore, It arrived in my lake in a completely accidental way. All the accidental observations and which are frequent, are however limited to the migratory periods...- Ornitomania

End of the day
The sun setting, and with the light failing fast I wanted another wander around the grounds before bed. A pair of Sulphur-crested Cockatoos, had joined a group of Maned Ducks in the front garden; here they are with one of the females.- delia todd

Ducks or Geese?
This is a most unusual species, as there's really nothing else like them. They seem to be a cross between a duck and a goose as the alternative common names indicate. Most naming authorities use Maned Duck, but some call them Maned Goose, but to add to the confusion others use Australian Wood...- delia todd

Having a wander
As you can see from my tags, this, what most call a Maned Duck, goes by two other names. An unusual species as there are no other birds in the genus.- delia todd

Nagging
The Cattle Egret on the left seems to have a lot to say, or perhaps he's complaining about the presence of the Maned Ducks behind. I had to stand on tip toes to rake this picture, as there was a bank and shrubs in the way. I've not seen any Cattle Egrets in Scotland (some in England) it it was...- delia todd

Identity Crisis
This one doesn't know if he's a duck or a goose, as he also goes under the names of Australian Wood Duck and Maned Goose. The only member of the genus Chenonetta.- delia todd
