User's notes

The Grey Teal family was out on the pond. The ducklings were feeding themselves, following the lead of their parents in searching out food. At one stage, one adult chased another but it was not clear why. The chasing teal was calling, but not the one in front. They did not go far, with the chasing teal executing about three spurts of speed to move the other teal further away.
