Some of you may be curious to see what the koloa look like at Slimbridge. At first, not knowing the other monochromatic ducks, it was hard to tell who was who. As I've tuned into the differences between species, and the more times I saw and heard these, I became more sure these were koloa. Sparky says, yes, they are the ones that hatched last year.
Koloa hatchlings look very fine. Good identifying! Interesting comment about no water during mating--and being pinioned--OUCHEE.
