drploktaOur cygnets are starting to grow up.
This is a non-standard duckling, because its mother is mostly black with a white front.
The woodpeckers seem to be spurning the nest-boxes in favour of an actual hole in a tree.
The great crested grebes who were riding on their mother's back recently are now growing up, but still spending 90% of their time letting their parents know that they're starving to death and need to be fed right now.
We finally have some baby coots.
And finally, we seem to have a nasty infestation of crocodiles.

I often wonder if fish like swimming in dilute bleach!
