Hi Heva1
That's an Australasian Grebe (aka Little Grebe)

Not a duck - beak is very different.
Feet lobed, not webbed.
Tiny little balls of fluff, and they dive expertly.
Shrill piping call.
Build floating nests of reeds.
Great little birds.

Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best
