EDITORS COMMENTS
Quacktastic! This rare Blue Duck knows how to strike a pose in the stunning waters of Tongariro River, North Island, New Zealand. With its vibrant blue plumage and unique beak shape, this adult Hymenolaimus malacorhynchos is truly a showstopper. Standing confidently in the shallows, it's clear that this endangered species rules the roost when it comes to style and grace. Endemic to New Zealand, these Pacific beauties are a sight for sore eyes. Known as 'whio' by locals, they are true celebrities of the avian world. Their presence brings joy and excitement to any nature enthusiast lucky enough to spot them. With their habitat primarily found along rivers like Tongariro, these water birds have adapted perfectly to their freshwater surroundings. They effortlessly navigate through the currents while searching for tasty treats beneath the surface. As we admire this breathtaking print captured by FLPA/John Holmes, let's take a moment to appreciate not only the beauty of these magnificent creatures but also reflect on our responsibility towards preserving their natural habitats.
