Private property. No public access without permission. Male duck preening and displaying: lots of whistling, splashing and grunting. Let's hope a female finds him.

He is very funny to watch. He has laid claim to the dead tree branches sticking out of the water. We just need more reeds to grow for a nest! Part of our revegetation works in progress. :)
