What to do on a cold and bleak day, stay home or go out to the local Duck ponds?
Thanks Mick for coming all that way to look and hopefully get photos on a day like today.

Lovely birds - thanks for telling me they were there and for going with me and showing them to me.
ReplyDeleteA fantastic post..
ReplyDeleteGreat duck shots!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos! Perfect post for WBW!
ReplyDeleteGreat birds, sorry the weather wasn't better. I love the Kingfisher and the Jacana.
ReplyDeleteI think it's much more fun to go out. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely seeing your series of birds I don't get to see!
It looks like a wonderful place to visit..
ReplyDeleteThey were great shots - in spite of the weather!
ReplyDeleteHi there - looks like a great place. I have a certain fondness for ducks; I think they are great birds. "Hardhead" has to be one of the most baffling common names mind you!

Great shots, even with poor light. I love the Hardhead ducks. I've only seen one at the Brisbane City Botanic Gardens. I managed to capture a few Comb-crested Jacanas at bribie Island bird hide a few weeks back (I posted them for WBW).
ReplyDeleteLooks like a trip up your way might be in order as I've never seen a Kingfisher!!
Such beautiful birds!
ReplyDeleteGreat post with some excellent variety.
ReplyDeleteWow, these are all so beautiful and interesting!
