These are some Pink Eared Ducks (Malacorhynchus membranaceus) from Jells Park in Melbourne. A busy day at work and the start of some (in my opinion) well deserved time off almost made me miss this post!
These duck are so great they need no more words!

They almost look like cartoon characters with such a unique face pattern!

ReplyDeleteSo pretty! YAM xx
Such an unusual looking duck compared to those I see here.
ReplyDeleteTrue: these ducks are great! Particular and pretty.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time off!
It's always cool to see Pink-eared Ducks - so many crazy features going on!
ReplyDeletePink-eared Ducks...I didn't know ducks had ears. Learn something new every day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting the meetup. I need all the education I can get!

Stewart, another unusual bird. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ducks. I love their father patterns... Do they really have pink ears? I really enjoy these pictures. You are looking at spring, we are looking at fall! I'm glad summer is over, it was a real bad one. Hot and wet.
ReplyDeleteNice DOF
ReplyDeleteI was thinking there might actually be ears... but not...you just have to squint to see a teensy bit of pink near where a little ear might be.... darn it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful ducks! I see the pink "ear" and mouth. Google has done something to my blog that will not allow me to read any comments. It tells me they are "secured content"....I've done everything I know to fix this problem, and am pretty upset about the loss of contact with everyone! Unless I can fix it, I may resort to just posting something now and then for anyone who wants to see my photos, and not participate anymore in the way I have been over the years. I don't know what is going on with them...but I don't like it!
ReplyDeleteSomeone I recently met told me I can use their pond which has quite a bit of"water fowl". I am only hoping I can and do see some. I know it won't be what you get and see, but there's hope!...:)JP
