CommentA lifer for me and found on a farm dam in the Canola Fields of all places west of Temora NSW. Was able to get a good sharp shot while it was swimming and side on to see the breeding plumage on the head in good light. The water colour is natural and reflected a bright blue sky. I am not sure about the bill covering as I notice some birds have it and others not.
