I have just watched Planet Earth which featured inter alia Mandarin Ducks emerging from a nest hollow and plummeting to earth. It seemed to me that the soft landing in leaf litter played a large part in their survival.. Has anyone researched the importance of a soft surface on the survival of Australian Wood Duck chicks? Do hazard reduction burns reduce the survival of the ducklings by removing the litter under the nest hollows?
