A strange place to call home

This chestnut teal duck family in this part of the lake that is covered in ink/green algae. It's fascinating to watch them move through it :)

Great shot of this lovely family, well spotted Denise:)

[Bep]

What a lovely duck family!

[Issi Bannerman]

Oh, my goodness, how can they swim in that?! Gorgeous image.

[Poppo Livy]

Are they looking for the Blue Billed Duck?

[Dione Giorgio]

Cute capture of the whole family. The algae is so thick it looks more like some moss covered field.

[Babs]

Oh dear they will have muscles when they have finished paddling through that lot

[Denise Wood]

@jamibann I'm not sure how they do it either - specially the ducklings!!
@terryliv They may well be :)

[Wylie]

[Islandgirl]

Must be tiresome for the little ones! Great find and shot.

[Esther Rosenberg]

Very colorful algae. Cute shot.

[Lee-Ann]

The chicks is so cute.

They appear as if moving through nature’s carpet.

Yuck...hope it doesn’t make them sick

[Kerry McCarthy]

Wonderful find! Not something I'd like to paddle through!

[Rick]

Cool capture.

[Rob Z]

Ohh - our dam is currently covered by this horrible plant. Unfortunately our ducks and dabchicks didn't like it and left! Your family seems to be coping quite well. :0

[Margo]

nice capture

[Anne ❀]

It reminds me of duck weed. They don't seem to mind it. Lovely family shot.
