The Punchbowl Ducks

Some ducks taken at The Punchbowl only a short distance from home. We are not permitted to feed the ducks.

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.

Birds

Tasmanian Native Hens are good swimmers and fast runners with strong legs therefore some people call them 'turbo chooks'. The chooks can run up to 50km hour are plentiful  near marshes, rivers and so on. The Native Hen is protected.  Link to better photos I took last year is [here ]

In the current photos the Chook was some distance away. Then photos of some ducks down Huonville, Tasmania.
