User's notes

Another lot of Hardhead ducklings 4 or 6 young only have pics showing 4 young but at one stage saw 4 young with the female and male in front and also saw 2 little ones on the far left, after the family group had moved up along the reeds out of sight, all of a sudden the 2 little ones bolted across the water to where the group had disappeared to, so it looked like they were another 2 young Hardheads just more adventurous.
