Meet The Woodies

This Australian Wood Duck family was feeding in the shallows but moved off a bit as I came along.

As usual Mr Woody put himself in harm's way to protect the family as Mrs Woody led the ducklings away from the bank.

Mrs Woody would also put herself on the line to protect the ducklings but if both are close it seems to me that the male always takes the most dangerous position..in this case between the family and the ravening photographer.
