User's notes

The male of this family with 4 older ducklings has no tail. This family were spread out so were unable to get a group photo at the time so only enough room to show 3 of the 4 ducklings. Both families were seen on the same visit and the other family with 3 younger ducklings has been listed separately. Pretty good to have 2 pairs breeding in the same pond.
