ongoing duck party...

Right on Christmas, these 2 ducks decided to take a wander through our backyard...
I am told that these are Pacific Black Ducks, and are closely related to the mallard...





Then yesterday, 2 Australian Wood Ducks enjoyed wandering round our apple tree...





And we thought that the above sight was surprising enough, back on 18th October, 2018...
Here we see ducks and bubs crossing the road right in front of our driveway...
(No - There is no nearby dam, lake, pond or river...
There are just small wetlands, some walking distance away...)

out and about...

 at last... out and about...
This morning, on the way home from yet another doctor's appointment...
I decided to stop by the Hillview Community Reserve wetlands in Dromana...
It was too lovely a winter's day to let slide by...
Above is the entrance to the reserve from the small carpark...
The wetlands are just beyond to the right...


the approach to the wetlands...


the lovely reflections in the wetlands...


more reflections...


a wetland identity...


let's bathe in the sunshine...
