An Australian wood duck (Chenonetta jubata) glides smoothly across the surface of a tranquil pond, creating gentle ripples that spread outward in the calm water. The duck's distinctive brown and grey plumage contrasts beautifully with the shimmering reflections of the surrounding natural environment. With its beak slightly submerged and webbed feet paddling rhythmically, the wood duck embodies the serenity of its aquatic habitat. This peaceful scene captures the essence of Australia's diverse wetland ecosystems, where the Australian wood duck thrives, adding to the rich tapestry of wildlife in these serene landscapes.

This photograph captures a beautiful American Wigeon (Female) paddling about on a winter morning. Females have a warm brown body with a brownish-grey head and a dark smudge around the eye. Their pale blue bill is tipped in black.

Mallards are water birds in which females are usually brown, but this female displays a high degree of leucism – it is nearly all white. In leucism, the pigmentation cells that develop from the neural crest are faulty. Similar conditions are (hypopigmentation), where the pigment cells fail only in parts, resulting in a piebald effect; and (albinism). An albino has a lack of only one pigment, melanin. As a result, the melanin layer inside the eye is missing, and albinos have pink 'bloodshot' eyes. The eyes of leucistic animals are pigmented normally, because the melanin within the eyes does not develop from the neural crest. This female is probably the offspring of an all-white mallard female that inhabited this same pond on Wandsworth Common, London.

The mandarin duck (Aix galericulata) is a perching duck species native to the East Palearctic. It is medium-sized, at 41–49 cm (16–19 in) long with a 65–75 cm (26–30 in) wingspan. It is closely related to the North American wood duck, the only other member of the genus Aix. 'Aix' is an Ancient Greek word which was used by Aristotle to refer to an unknown diving bird, and 'galericulata' is the Latin for a wig, derived from galerum, a cap or bonnet.Outside of its native range, the mandarin duck has a large introduced population in the British Isles and Western Europe, with additional smaller introductions in North America.
