I'm Your Guide for Today

A wood duck who swam ahead of the canal boat we were in on the way back from the wildlife game park. He acted as if his role was to lead us back to the entrance. I love their coloring so was thrilled to capture this one in the late afternoon light.
A beautiful capture and colours.

Love the image and the angle of the duck and the title! What Wildlife Game Park??? You're not going on your safari until February are you? I'm so confused. You move out and I have no idea what you are doing any rmore :(

@taffy Really?? An aussie - I'll have to have a look in our bird book and see where they're found - he is just so different to anything we get here - all browns and greys and blacks. Thanks for the info!!

His color really POPS in the dark lake!! Beautiful photo Taffy!

@robz I think the area I saw them in was near Cairns -- outside it, at some kind of sanctuary.
