At Coypu Pond there are two pairs that had already built the platforms and are already sitting on eggs

The nest of the Coscorobas we showed last month has been flooded by the latest heavy rains. On top the Coscoroba Swan sitting on eggs. Below, the nest, almost under water, with the abandoned eggs. Unluckily they were about to hatch

Almost ten Ringed Teal ducklings decided to explore the surroundings. They climbed up the embankment and waded to the street. Their parents called them desperately. Some passers-by returned them to the water
