Hi Wynton,
I came across the same number of
duckings recently at Seawinds on the Mornington Peninsula (south of
Melbourne).
There are any number of Wood Duck resident at
Seawinds and I sometimes wonder if they adopt babies from other parents. Its
hard to imagine so many eggs in one nest (hollow). The parent would surely
have to lay more than one egg a day. Does anyone know,
Ian Dowling
