Great picture of this threesome Tom. Fabulous eye-level view and you have all three of their attention. Superb work!!!
 
Very beautiful and lovable ducks. I've just read that they breed in a tree cavity like some other ducks. Only a few weeks ago I watched a documentary showing ducklings jumping down from a tree from a height of about 10-15 metres and landing softly in the leaves of the last autumn. How nice for you to have such beautiful and interesting birds around.
