User's notes

There were probably at least ten Australian Wood Ducks at this location although eight of them appeared to be a family unit while the other two were possibly younger, non-breeding males. The family unit is in the first photograph and soon after this photograph they took to flight. I do not think I spooked them as I had not moved.
