Chillin' on the rocks....

....down by the edge of the pool, all alone.

This male Australian Wood Duck spends hours in our garden these days, and all alone most of the time. His little lady drops by for a quick feed every now and then, he then escorts her home, and flies back to our garden again in no time at all!

I have a suspicion that they may have eggs in their nest, somewhere nearby, which can't be left unattended for any length of time. Or, better still, perhaps the eggs have hatched, and Mother Duck mustn't leave her babies for too long!!

I'm looking forward to the day when I can blip the whole duck family for you, just chillin' by the pool....
