Baby Pukekoe Video at Birds Ferry Lodge

 This is a short video I made on my iphone yesterday while sitting having some quiet time with my ducks - in the middle is a baby Pukekoe which will be about a month old. It is the one squeeking throughout the whole video - checking in with Mum and Dad who are there too plus an Auntie who was also feeing the baby.
