Friends in the grass

[Isac]

#1 - The little zebra ducks are almost as big as mum and dad ...

#2 - ... and love to relax with their mates and share the grass with a Dusky Moorhen and a pair of Australasian Shovelers.

#3 - The one swan is an indication that its mate is guarding a nearby nest. I haven't been able to locate it yet - perhaps some cygnets may be on the way - here's hoping.

Good to see the ducks growing Isac and there seem to still be a good number. Have any gone missing. Around here each time you see ducklings a couple more seem to have gone missing.

I hope you get to see some cygnets in the near future.

G'day Alan. I'm pretty certain they have only lost one, so all good on that front. They are growing so fast, it's unbelievable. I took some more yesterday and they are almost as big as the parents, but still have that juvenile look. I really hope to see some cygnets soon. The last time was 2012!
