I was doubting the mating skills of the Paradise Shelducks that I had seen on the farm. The bachelorette females and the lonesome male were living in separate paddocks, but obviously 2 of them got together because yesterday my daughter spotted a duckling.
The parents flew off and performed loudly to draw her away but she crept up and got some photos of 5 ducklings.
The were moving fast through the water and not stopping to pose for photos.
Then the decision was made to go over land...... Last seen heading north.

This is a new variety called 'The Princess Lavender'. The description says neon pink flowers and they certainly stand out in the garden.
