I had heard there was a blue billed duck at Lake Pertobe but many visits were futile. Then on Wednesday I finally spotted it! It's definitely very obvious with that blue bill :) They are a very shy duck and stay in the water hiding in reeds etc. His bill is only blue through mating season.
awesome find and shot. i like how you still got the eye even with such dark colours. It's great to finally find a bird that you've been trying to find for a while. fav.
