Pink Eared Ducks have decided to stay for a while at my local lake this year and have just celebrated the arrival of a new lot of 7 babies. They are a very shy duck and move away as soon as they spot you, more so when they are guarding and teaching their young ones. #1 - That's enough rest for now so into the water kids, here comes that camera toting fellow again. #2 - We'll head to the middle for safety. #3 - C'mon keep going, no time for shopping but it's a good for practising your "ducking and weaving" manoeuvres to avoid common obstacles. #4 - Ok guys, we're safe now out in the open water.
A smashing set of images Isac. If the environment is like my local pond then probably only one or two will survive to maturity, rats, gulls and other predators wreak havoc on young wildlife.
Cheers Thumbnail. The main concern is with domestic cats. We don't have the gull issues as we are a long way from the coast and I haven't seen a rat here but that doesn't mean they are not lurking about.
