for a few weeks now my wife and I have been amused by a curious trio of
ducks down by the lake at Yarralumla just west of the rowing shed complex.
A male and female Wood duck are accompanied by a faithful Grey Teal. Where
they go he (or she) goes – or perhaps its the other way around! The first
time we saw them it seemed that there was a little animosity within the group
but now everything seems to have settled down nicely.
Interestingly the Teal seems to have adopted their feeding habits and can
be seen nibbling grass by the lake shore on most occasions. Rarely are
they in the water.
