This is a bird I don’t often see, it’s the New Zealand Scaup. You see them in Lake Rotorua and Lake Taupo. Its commonly known as the Black Teal. I believe their population is increasing. Its a diving Duck.
I think they are very beautiful birds.
This is taken in 2013, so its quite a while ago.
Your beautiful photo makes me feel floating too!
Yes, the Scaup seem to float like corks. Great type of Duck. Thanks Albet
Pleasure is mine, Pamela.
