Just love going down to my closest wetland ( Oaklands, more a recreation area but developing nicely.) for some time with the ducks.
Breeding now so there are lots of cute chicks around for photo ops though their numbers decrease with each visit as predators take their toll.
Only disappointments are a few very aggressive Mallards and uncaring people who refuse to keep their dogs on a lead.

I was thinking "how adorable"... until I got up to the hardhead. Their eyes are soooo unnerving

Getting eye level with all those ducks Rick - great photos.
Ducklings are super cute shots. I like that one of the the woodduck "hissing" (for want of a better term.)
Some interesting shots here Rick. Love the family shot. Great time of year for bird photography.
