In the Darebin Parklands, the waters of the Darebin Creek and the several ponds through the reserve offer a great environment for many species of waterfowl. Here is a male chestnut teal duck (Anas castanea) on top of nesting box. Chestnut teals are dabbling ducks found in Australia. They are protected under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974.
