How cool is that, I have posted two pics this year of Ducks with their young in the drain over the back fence,one was a Grass Whistler the other was a Pacific Black.

I like the flying shot. Where abouts are they? If you don't mind, I might take a look. It's ok if you don't want to share the location though - birds may not want to see too many photographers!
