Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Tadorna radjah - Centenary Lakes.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on February 24, 2013. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2013-02-24.

Picture of the day

A Raja Shelduck (Tadorna radjah) at Centenary Lakes in Cairns, Australia. The Raja Shelduck prefers the brackish waters of mangrove flats and paperbark tree swamps, but will live elsewhere during the wet season. It feeds mainly on mollusks, insects, sedge materials and algae.Photograph: JJ Harrison

Requested move

Raja shelduck → Radjah shelduck – Far more often referred to by "radjah" than by "raja" (100 vs 17 Google Books results). This name is used in the Handbook of the Birds of the World and by BirdLife International, and is the historic name of the species. While WikiProject Birds uses IOC World Bird List names by default, in this case usage is clear. --Relisted. Dekimasuよ! 03:11, 27 October 2014 (UTC) —innotata 00:11, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

• See also the Google Ngram (case-insensitive mode): only one result for "Raja shelduck", and "Radjah shelduck" is used more today than the colloquial, regional term "Burdekin duck". —innotata 18:30, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
  • No objections in two weeks, putting this through as uncontroversial. Dekimasuよ! 19:25, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

IOC Version 8.1 says radjah shelduck should be placed in its own genus radjah

i agree it
