I got a good look and some good shots of this black duck and her family this morning. I was amused to see the ducklings displaying the tipping behaviour of their parents when feeding (top shot). In the bottom shot, you can plainly see the purple speculum feather of the female's wing. You can also see a couple of white feathers floating in the water in the top photo - signs of the molting that's beginning among the ducks.
