Photographed while on site in New Brighton, a place that was affected by the by the 2011 earthquake in New Zealand 🇳🇿

Paradise duck as the duck is called is absolutely attractive, though I was busy, I got distracted a bit to photograph this bird beauty.

By looking for it's name, I also found out that they mate for life, meaning they stick to one partner all through their life, which I find to be very interesting.

Paradise Shelduck (Tadorna variegata) endemic to New Zealand, lovely looking male I see the females have white feathers on the head.

Awesome captures, have a great weekend.

Some bird life on South Island is great, something most commented not evident in the North.
