Whistling duck

Not a great photo, but I took a picture of this interesting water bird so I could Google Lens it. Turns out it's a fulvous whistling duck. No idea if it whistles.

According to Mr Google their voice is a shrill high pitched whistle and their wings make a whistle noise in flight

I think it’s great - love the way he blends in to the greenery

Thank you for introducing me to Google Lens, just one more part of this modern World to which I was previously oblivious!

Nice to see a duck that's not a mallard! Well spotted.

@laroque oh it's really great, not always successful at ID'ing, but so handy a lot of the time if you've got a distinctive shot.
