A duck (putangitangi) standing on a tall post. There is another post to the left and grapevined in the foreground. In the distance are grey trees and the winter morning light is shining from the right.

We think we have a small tragedy here. There's a female putangitangi (paradise shell duck) standing alone on our grapevine post. She's been there since early morning calling. They always have a mate nearby, but there's no sign of him.
She sounds pretty sad.
