There were about 4 groups of similar size on neighbors paddock
Looks like breeding season was fairly successful. I reckon possibly 100 birds out there having a great time

Kids had 10 on their pond last week, next day 5 and now none, cats, pukes, eels and rats
Don't forget the magpies !, the old lady has had 3-4 pet magpies for years not the pic up type but she feeds them on the lawn they come up really close , now she wants them shot iv been trying to get her to film the action but she wont , seemly they have turned into some freak raptors hunting in 2,s killing thrushes , black birds , wax eyes , raiding nests and ducklings in the paddock , she reckons they are carting there prey back to the nest !!Quote:

Saw mum duck out with 8 ducklings on Saturday, when I went back on Sunday there were only 7. Survival of the fittest I suppose.
Some good numbers around our area.
