Hardhead

description Hardhead Overview

The hardhead, Aythya australis, is a diving duck native to Australia and associated with freshwater wetlands, lakes, and other inland or coastal waters. It belongs to the family Anatidae and feeds by diving below the surface rather than by dabbling at the water's edge. The common name refers to the bird's characteristically flattened head, a feature that helped distinguish it in early descriptions and collections.
