User's notes
There was a family of Grey Teals, with two adults and two ducklings. The ducklings appeared to already be feeding themselves by lowering their bills into the water and filtering food as they swam. The ducklings swam closer to the bank at some stage, while still feeding, but the adult birds kept to the middle of the pond.
