Tadorna tadornoides
Attractive large duck with tan neck and white collar.
Spotted at a wildlife park on Philip island Australian waterbird but not necessarily requiring water.
The shelduck differs from other ducks in being brightly colored. They are large, rely less on water and are more closely related to geese.
