EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this vibrant print captured by the talented Don Hadden, we are treated to a delightful sight of adult Wandering Whistling-Ducks and their nearly full-grown youngsters. These feathered beauties, also known as Water Whistle-ducks or Whistling Tree-ducks, are found throughout Australia's northern and north-eastern regions. The Marlgu Billabong at Parry Lagoons Nature Reserve sets the stage for this heartwarming family gathering. With its lush wetlands and aquatic vegetation, it's no wonder these ducks have chosen this picturesque spot as their home. They even take on a nomadic lifestyle during the wet season, following the floodwaters like true adventurers! As we admire this enchanting scene, let's not forget to appreciate the intricate details of each duck. From their colorful plumage to their charismatic whistles that echo through billabongs and lagoons alike – they truly are nature's little performers. This snapshot reminds us of the importance of preserving our natural habitats and protecting our wildlife. So next time you find yourself near Wyndham in Western Australia, keep an eye out for these charming creatures! And if you're lucky enough to witness a mother leading her young brood across calm waters, consider yourself blessed with a quacking good experience straight from Mother Nature herself!
