My last #featheredfriends post featured the cool peachicks I saw in an urban park (if you haven't seen it and are curious, you can check it here); but the truth is... peachicks weren't the only tiny ones around!
The domestic ducks also enjoyed the wonders of Spring, the baby boom got them too! I´ve seen at least two females, with 3-4 ducklings each. As with peachicks, ducklings are nidifugous, so they are fit to roam shortly after hatching.
Mother duck's offspring didn't seem that keen to be away from her; they mostly kept very close distance, but as with the peafowl, they didn't seem disturbed by human presence.
The less tiny inhabitants of the park seemed a little jealous of all the little ones. This common anser swam near to have a sneak peak at the camera.
Some geese can be quite agressive, but fortunately for me it wasn't the case here. And further away, another duck family was resting.
Yes, the next one is a little blurry... I almost smacked my head when I noticed (too late to take another photo!), but the damn duck was so cute... I'm posting it anyway!
And I know, this is a #featheredfriends post... but they had #scalesfriends too! And yes, also tiny!
They also approached to have their photo taken; the next one, ninja style.
There were some passerine species and azure winged magpies Cyanopica cooki flying around, but was unable to get decent photos. But who knows? I'll have one more week of vacations, and I'm planning on visiting a couple of wildlife reserves. Maybe I'll get lucky! 😉
