A pair of shovellers on the Otakaikino stream. (Please excuse the photos. It was raining steadily at the time, with low light, and I didn't have a tripod.)

2 pairs and 2 Grey teal on right There are quite a few Shoveler pairs in the wetlands at present. Good to see as they are not very common (Very hard to estimate numbers as they tend to keep well away from the edge and hidden in the grey willows)

Teal can be seen in the photo.

"The remains of a bird squashed on the roadside by a wetland. There are usually ducks killed here but I'm unsure if this is really a duck. The feathers are very ""spotty""."
