Chestnut Teal - Tasmania
a7R4, 100-400mm @ 400mm, ISO 1600, f/5.6, 1/125s
Tonight while scouting for Platypus, I came upon one of my favorite Teal species, Australia's Chestnut Teal. I ran back to the car, grabbed the gear and followed them downriver a bit until they got to a resting spot. I maneuvered to get them in the same plane and got many shots including this one...

P.S. We did find the Platypus but it was already too dark to get shots.

What a lovely view of this handsome pair!  I'll keep my fingers crossed for a platypus in nice light.... :)
