Roger et al - lovely photo - you could well be
right that 8 of the ducklings were from the Narrabundah Hill dam, I couldn't
find them there last night either.
It is quite possible there have been three clutches
in this area recently as my wife saw 8 very small ducklings on the next dam
along, about 1 km on the SW track, yesterday evening. Whether early or
late, it does seem the Feb rain has caused a spate of wood duck breeding in this
area.
Have seen GBB in this area recently
too.
