Post your nature and wildlife pictures

Male and female Gadwall

EDIT: removed the picture as it appeared quite unsharp after uploading. I'm puzzled really as to why it was like that but it ruined the shot for me, sorry.
 
Just going through and redoing some old images with resizing them from the RAW and these needed it.

Beautiful exotic Heron species, wonderful imagery, thanks for sharing.

p.s.
Remarkable detail: its scientific name (Egretta novaehollandiae) has the word "holland" in it (which is another word for "the Netherlands") but most probably not a single white faced Heron ever saw Holland as the species is native to your part of the world.

At the time that species were being discovered, described and named, what we know as Australia today was called New Holland, hence the Latin name Novaehollandiae. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Holland_(Australia)
The name persists in other species too and a common bird in the south east of Australia has the common name of New Holland Honeyeater.
