Giant ducks are often attracted to u-boat pens where they make nests and rear
their young until they are big enough to fly and take commercial passengers.

Here is a young giant duck outside it's pens in St.Naz.

They are always a favorite with bird spotters due to their unusual mating dance
and beautiful plumage, but are often hard to photograph due to their shy nature.

They are increasingly rare as their nests are being raided by giant rats illegally
bought into the country as sports mascots and then let loose into the wild.
