Picnic On The Grass

The Australasian wood ducks and their chicks that i posted a few weeks ago are all doing quite nicely and are out for a picnic on the grass near their lake. 🙂

(This was taken as i was about to drive off after capturing a load of shots of them picnicking on the other side of the roadway – Dad guided his family across the quiet street about 10 feet in front of my car to fresh grass on the verge where i was parked.)

Mum takes on lookout duty while Dad gets his share.  🙂
