Hardheads at Oak Street Wetland

Hardhead (Male)

Hardheads are native Australian ducks. Although not always present at Oak Street Wetland, they can be found there most times.

On 27 October 2024, about 6 of them was observed at the Wetland. This male Hardhead posed for me by swimming across the break in the reeds as I held the camera low close to the edge of the pond. The sun was behind the cloud, so I wasn’t fortunate enough to have light like this photograph. Perhaps next time one of these Hardheads can pose for me again with better light.

Nikon Z 9, Nikkor Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S @ 1/640s f/6.3 ISO2000
