A flock of plumed whistling ducks (Dendrocygna eytoni) is landing on the bank of a billabong, captured in various inelegant poses with wings outstretched, heads craned (ducked?) and feet asplay. A lone egret is standing, totally unmoved by the chaos around it.

Duck!

Today's #BirdOfTheDay from @robcrank68.bsky.social is 'Ducks'
