Just because people like floofy things 🙂. It's not high art. It's not serious ornithological study. But there are really really cute. These are Australian Shellduck-lings and there were 12 of them keeping Mum very busy and her and Dad were vigilantly trying to drown every other water bird that dared enter their "bit" of lake. The sun was lowering behind them creating lovely backlighting on the fluffy bits.

2 duckling side on to the camera with the same lighting as the previous picture
7 ducklings, 5 of which have their bums up and turned to the camera (poorly focused) and 2 at the front who are side on with their heads up
