Before the rice can be planted in the prepared terraces and paddies, it has to sit in water for a while. This paddy has been invaded by a large herd (?) of ducks. I was aghast that all their work would be for nought, but then Gede explained that the ducks eat the bugs and such that would hurt the rice, so they are actually beneficial. We were on our way to a restaurant called The Dirty Duck, so the timing for this little encounter couldn't have been better.
