New babies everywhere! This is a big family of ducklings. The parents are on duty 24/7 looking after them. If any predator comes too close, the babies are hurried into the water by Mum. Dad stands guard onshore till they are all safely away.
There are 4 cygnets in this family. Dad was particularly aggressive towards me as I approached with my camera. He spread his wings and flew straight at me before I scrambled away.
Nothing to fear at Wireless Hill, where the wildflowers are in abundance after the winter rains.
