    I don't have a Fuji Film FinePix S5700 camera anymore husband has taken it for work, I am in the learning stages. I can't seem to stay away from the computer.

    Default New Zealand Scaup

    This picture I took is of a really neat little duck that seems to be large in numbers over here but you never get tired of looking at them. They are small and cute.

    Yes they are lovely birds, slightly different from our Scaup.

    Excellent image of the Scaup. This has really interested me as a bird we obviously don't get over here. Thanks for posting this Sitereh I much appreciate it.

    There's a picture of two of our Scaup on the website. Its on page four of the 'Aquatic' section if you would like to take a look Sitereh.

    Hi Pete I found the Scaup picture you took.
    They are pretty birds in black and white, you can see they are a sililar shape to NZ

    Yes, the Scaup does have a structure which seperates it from the similar Tufted Duck in particular the female 'Tufty' though she has a tuft as her name suggests.
