Comments
The two adults were very curious and not afraid to get close to people. The juvenile was a bit more wary. I crouched down to take a photo, one adult waddled up to me and bit my finger, but not too hard. It was raining quite hard and they looked soggy.
Behaviour
Jumping on parked cars, attempting to pull small pieces off. Drinking from puddles, and preening occasionally.
