Visitors

Before other people arrived we were visited by several ducks, these two felt comfortable with our company so went to sleep whilst we were on holiday.  Early in our stay we took a drive down the road and saw some black swans.

  1. Beautiful pictures of the ducks.
    Once you feed them, they will automatically come back and wait for their next portion of food.
    The black swan is beautiful, you only see it here in a zoo.

    1. Thanks Bill. I saw a white one once in our City Park, someone was cruel to it and hence no white swan again, it's the only one I ever saw, often see black ones.

  12. Ducks are quite tame. Someone might feed them everyday.

    1. There is a mini farm at the caravan park and the ducks are fed there, we are not permitted to give ducks bread or feed them.

  13. Other than kangaroos, Black Swans are about as representative in the minds of many as anything I can think of.
