The "fuzzy duck" beer drinking tongue twister springs to mind That is a very fuzzy duck.

Thank you DGW

Here are some babino NeNes and Mum! and some other adults too...taken at Slimbridge Wildfowl and Wetland Trust down in Gloucestershire a few years back.

They are very friendly and will eat out of your hand very gently. They were nearly extinct in the wild when Sir Peter Scott set about trying to save them.

"In 1962 the first Slimbridge-reared Nene was released into the wild in Hawaii, the start of the recovery of the world Nene population which had fallen to 30 by 1951."

We have a love for them as my maternal grandmother was Peter Scotts 1st nanny just after he was born and when his dad Robert Falcon Scott went away on his final fateful expedition.
