Beautiful pics, Perry! Love the floating island and Trevor's family.

You must have a lot fewer predators than we do here in the US. Dogs, cats, coyotes, opossums, raccoons, wild pigs, etc, etc, would make raising a duck family on shore a perilous & probably futile endeavor.

One thing that's become clear about the Wu flu in Europe and the US is that economic lockdowns don't work over the long haul. Neither do mask mandates. The vaccines are our best shot (if you'll pardon the pun), since we cannot isolate ourselves the way NZ and Taiwan have done so successfully.

Can't speak for anybody else on PB, but our little pond place in the woods of east Texas was a true blessing, a refuge in time of panic. Always something to do, or at least something to watch with all the life, aquatic and otherwise!
