Australian Birds: Wood Ducks (Chenonetta jubata)
On one of my early morning walks around the lake, I was fortunate enough to spot these beauties by in one of the tributaries. I rarely get to see the ducklings, so I was quite pleased to see these little ones with their mother. Mum kept a close eye on me for the entire shoot. And, in the end, I discovered the reflections in the water.
