Exhibiting threat response to my Shetland Sheepdog on my patio. Possum eventually departed when the threat was removed.

breeding pair with--I think--7 ducklings

The 2nd photo is out of focus, but offers a better view of tail and wings for ID.

Not the whole group, maybe 10 all together. Saw them close to the road, made 2 u-turns to circle back as they moved off. Fortunately had a long lens with me. One white cow grazing in the background.
