This cute #Mallard has taken up residency in my stream. His wife is around here somewhere, too. They come stay for a few weeks each Spring before moving on. 🦆🌈
Got a bit of an indignant QUACK after a while, but that might be because he realised I had documented some rather naughty behaviour and was attempting intimidation.
I will not be intimidated though. If I can find any that are remotely in focus and not just a mass of water splashes I will publish.
Heh, so this was all a bit fast and furious, so it's not a great photo, but it was a great moment (from the point of view of observer at least, maybe less so as a participant).
couple of shy Pacific Black #ducks have joined our resident Wood ducks this week. love the iridescent wing feathers that change colour depending on the angle of view. Main dam is still a bit muddy from the flood last month, so they have been dabbling in the cleaner, house dam. #wildoz#tasmania
