Hi,
I woke these Scaup up as they were snoozing on Lake Waikaremoana, just before sunset in early June this year.
Waikaremoana is a beautiful, peaceful place with loads of natural beauty and wildlife.
Scaup are a diving duck who prefer to live on deep inland lakes. Waikaremoana fits that criteria as it is over 250m in depth in places.
Hope you like the shot.
Regards
John. |

Nice one John.
I've only ever seen these by themselves before.
Waikaremoana and the Urewera National Park is an awesome place.Some wicked Beech forest up there.
Where are you now ?
