Northern Pintail



Northern Pintail (IMG_5545), originally uploaded by gjhmac.

Definitely the biggest sighting in my birding life - a female Northern Pintail at Erskine Lakes (near Mandurah, WA, Australia). Many thanks to John Graff for finding it on the day - we were there looking for a Royal Spoonbill. Apparently this bird is the third recorded Northern Pintail for Western Australia.
