Todays bird of the day is the Australian Wood Duck! I’m fascinated by the calls from them - to me they sound like kookaburras, but ducks

"Morning Awakening"

Chestnut Teal, Healesville, Vic

"Early morning walks reveal remarkable but momentary combinations of light, atmosphere, and fauna that are challenging to capture as images. This photo shows the antics of local waterbird species, cavorting on the water, as foggy shafts of light pierce the morning. This image caught what was the only time I have seen the atmospheric effects enclosing a normally wide aspect into an intimate theatre. Australian Wood Ducks and Chestnut Teals breed here every year, and animate our lake with cycles of feeding, breeding, and fledging."
