Our wetlands host mesmerizing crowds of life that mingle and mix and that fight and flux. But among those bobbing birds, there is a standout without equal – an Emperor that rises high above the rest of its waterfowl court. It rules these waters crowned in ruby splendour and is even elegantly draped in a pristine white toga.

The Canvasback is a Cesar and the rest of the birds are simple waterfowl.
