Tadorna variegata
These paradise ducks were spotted on the side of a small river in the area of Onerahi. They had about 6 ducklings with them.
Small river area with some light bush surroundings, fields nearby for grazing.
The genus name Tadorna comes from Celtic roots and means "pied waterfowl", essentially the same as the English "shelduck"
