User's notes

shortly after the last photo was taken (from Bittern hide) something not sure what scared ALL the birds and most of the ducks flew up and away even in front of Cygnus hide as you can pretty much see all of Kelly's Swamp now. The Chestnut Teal family quickly hid in one of the rare clumps of green reeds and fitted amazingly well in there, as the ducklings could not fly their mum stayed with them. No sign of a male.
