More spring babies

Black Swan Cygnets, Etiwanda Wetlands 

Australian Shelduck with chick, Etiwanda Wetlands

I rarely go to Etiwanda Wetlands but I thought I better check it out since I'm taking a group of primary school students there next week to bird watch for Bird Week. It was terrible weather but the swans didn't seem to mind! I also saw a baby Shelduck - I couldn't get very close so not a great photo but I don't see them much so I've still included it here.

    Lovely Shelduck. I don't think I have ever seen that species in wildfowl collections over here even though there are often some exotic wildfowl. Don't expect to see one in the wild!

    Thanks for sharing! For some reason I have taken a greater interest this year in which bird does what, when!
