'In the wild!' (Biziura lobata)

The Musk Duck (male) has a lobe underneath its chin and uses it to attract the females, it also claps its tail on the water to make a huge splash, at the same time emmitting a very sharp whistle......I did a series of photos and video for the Serendip Sanctuary when they had a Musk Duck born there and was lucky enough to watch the baby grow from 2 days to now (which is 18mths later)....fascinating ducks!
I was so excited about finding one in the wild that I followed it for half an hour in the freezing cold hoping that it might come closer to the shore.....this was the best that I gould do...do hope you all like it!
