Something for the Wednesday Walkers to look forward to in a few weeks time!

Excellent record and images.

Hi All,

I spent over an hour this afternoon watching a female musk duck feeding  her 3 chicks and doing a lap of Yerrabi Pond. The chicks were very small .... looked very young to me and were regularly riding on the mother's back.  

They stayed quite a way from the bank most of the time so photos aren't good, but at least you can see them all.

Cheers
Julie
