This group of larger, often semi-terrestrial waterfowl can be seen as intermediate between geese (Anserinae) and ducks.
This group is largely tropical or Southern Hemisphere in distribution, with only two species, the Common Shelduck and the Ruddy Shelduck breeding in northern temperate regions, though the Crested Shelduck (presumed extinct) was also a northern species.
Most of these species have a distinctive plumage, but there is no pattern as to whether the sexes are alike, even within a single genus.

We stayed for some time and had a good variety of birds (42 in all), including both Pygmy-geese, Radjah Shelduck, Black-necked Stork, another Black Falcon, Australian Hobby, some very obliging White-winged Trillers and Double-barred Finches.
Here we came upon Woody and Betsy (Bahamas based) who had been staying at Kingfisher Park at the same time as us.
