Duck in a Gum Tree

Three ducks swimming along.
Today was hot and humid. Most of the wildlife was quietly at rest, finding places to cool off. The pelican seemed happy just to cool off in the shallows.
It took me a while to realise this cockatoo was sitting above in the leaves just keeping an eye on me.
The duck also happy to sit around in the lagoon.
The turtle was just surfing, waiting for a wave that wouldn’t eventuate.
The hawk was just not bothered and keeping a wary eye out.
These gorgeous little ducks were at a weir close by the farm.

Stand up properly, someone is watching.
Let’s just go for a swim.
Turn around and jump in too.
I spotted this duck perched high up in a tree branch. She was spying on a beautifully coloured male duck (Mallard). He was showing off, trying to impress her. Sadly, she flew off and left him all alone.
Ready
Set
Go
Landed and having a quiet swim.
All by himself.
