Spotted today in the Wellington Botanic Garden ki Paekākā before the rain:

1. mama paradise shelduck / pūtangitangi with a bunch of chicks (papa was nearby of course) #birdsnz
2. Chris Hipkins #nzpol

No points for guessing which of these is depicted in the picture.

A pretty rotund brown duck with a white head and chestnut brown, green, and white plumage, taking care of a number of floofy fuzzy brown and white chicks.
