X marks the spot as a Wandering Whistling Duck (Dendrocygna arcuata) hits the main lagoon in Tyto today. Pretty handy, having your own X. Means always landing on the right spot.
After much eXiting there's not a lot of competition for landing spots right now. About XXX Plumed Whistling Ducks spend their days on dry land. Pacific Black Ducks and Green Pigmy Geese number in the XXs. Little Black and Little Pied Cormorants and Darters together wouldn't make X. Leaves XXX Comb-crested Jacanas with the run of things.
Great photos, indeed. You were definitely in the right place at the right time - and had the camera set the right way too!
ReplyDeleteRight on! Thanks, Mick.
ReplyDeleteNice picture of 'X-mass' on water. I like the pond spotted with lotus. :)
