A very beautiful duck. There was supposed to be a pair but I don´t know if the female in the last image is his.  The duck seem to look a bit like a Teal.

This one was sitting in a tree all by itself. Just sitting there half asleep not bothered by all people watching it. Probably a well known bird world wide.
