Another walk on the Yarra River Trail today brings some fluffy new family members to the area. Here we have some Australian Wood Ducklings foraging through the grassy riverbank, with (I believe, based on the feathering) mumma in the background.

Passers by were happily observing and quietly snapping shots of the family of at least 8 ducklings plus the two parents. Aside from a small Mynah close by that was flying about and being a bit of a nuisance, the ducks and ducklings where largely unbothered by their celebrity status and were much more interested in what they could find on the ground.
