    We found our way to a cafe for a rather later lunch, and very nice it was too. Entertaining us was a family of Maned Ducks out on the grass, here are the two ducklings.

    Back to the duck / goose problem, the poor thing. There were quite a few new species to see that day as opposed to what we found the day before. I always find that interesting. This is currently call a Maned Duck, but it's also been known as Australian Wood Duck and Maned Goose. A most...

    Strangely there were 3 ibis as well, further along that creek but they'd teemed up with Pacific Black Duck and Maned Duck.

    Duck/goose

    Maned or wood!! What a confused bird this one is, with so many names. As we moved slowly along the length of Seppings Pond we came across this pair of Maned Ducks on the wide grass bank in front of the water. This is a monotypic species in a monotypic genus, so quite an unusual bird.

    After our cruise, we found our hotel for the night and had another wonderful meal in their dining room. I was awake early and wandered down to the riverside to see what was about, spending a minute or two watching a small ferry plying back and fro across the river. Why is this always such a...

    Maned Duck (or Goose)

    One of the alternative names for these is Maned Goose, and you can see from the bill how it got to be called that. I think it's now generally accepted to be a duck (but don't quote me on that LOL) Whatever, I think these are really attractive guys.

    Shortly before sundown I did my usual circuit of the estate! Out at the front drive were these three Maned Duck, they rather seem to like hanging about in this area.

    Moving round to the dam, it was good to see there was still water in it and a couple of Maned Ducks were resting at the water's edge.

    Another very early start the next day - we were off to the famous O'Reilly's!! En route we called in at their Vineyard, for a cuppie and a break before tackling the steep and narrow, hairpin road up to the Rainforest reserve. The Alpaca Farm has now been re-located there apparently. We heard...

    Polyonymous

    This was confusing to me, as the Maned Duck has a couple of other names, both used locally in Australia... (Australian) Wood Duck, but nothing like the Wood Duck found in the North America and also Maned Goose. It is rather goose-like, isn't it, with that short bill. Anyway.... Hans wanted to...

    Maned Duck

    This is an adult male. Our field guides called this bird the "Australian Wood Duck" but Clements and most other authorities use "Maned Duck." Males have a narrow black "mane" down the middle of their nape. Seeing these birds grazing reminded me of small geese. In...

    The one with many names

    Confusingly this duck is also known as Wood Duck, but there's an American one, so this then has to have 'Australian' added to the name. In addition it's been called Maned Goose (I think due to it's rather small bill). Anyway, there were a few loafing on the bank of the lake, and yet more...
