Chestnut Teal

[Alan]

I think? Anas castanea. A small dam near Moruya. D90 300mm x1.7TC. Hand held from car window. f/6.7 1/1250 400 ISO

Well, if it looks like a teal, acts like a teal...

Gorgeous colours in this and I like the blurred reeds in foreground. Lovely image.

[Alan]

Thanks Mick

Also on the dam was a Swan on a nest - must be Spring soon

Another solid image Alan. (way down upon the Swaneeee river, far, far away)

[P Plates]

Both beautiful images. The blurred reeds make me imagine you using them for camouflage and peeking through them.

[Alan]

Thanks again

[Isac]

Both are splendid Alan. Our swans are getting ready to egg sit very soon so hopefully lots of snaps of the little ones. I like the Australasian Shoveler in #1 - leading the pack.

[Alan]

Thanks. It does look Shoveler like now you mention it, as does the one behind it. Now are the others Chestnut or Grey Teals?

I'm so useless at this.

[Mark L]

They are Grey Teals and the second shoveler is the Mrs.

[Alan]

Thanks Mark
