@happypat They were probably looking at the crocodile just to the right of this picture. Not a real one I might add but a metal sculpture of a green crocodile. No wonder they were dubious about entering the water.
I like the way you've captured them both looking the same way, ducks always seem to turn their heads the other way just as I click! Great colours in this too.
@shesnapped Yep, definitely winter. Winter in the southern hemisphere here in Australia is June, July and August. The good thing about winter in Australia is that even in winter it isn't wintery every day. Today the temperature is 20 degrees C (68 f).
The reason they were looking so curious I suspect is because just out of shot there is a metal sculpture of a crocodile in the water. ha ha. I couldn't fit that in this photo though because it was too far away.
