duck n pond

Can't solve it. :(

I like this type of challenges,but unfortunately I couldn't do it :/.

Finally managed it - but lots of guessing.

There shouldn't be guesswork involved in a Hanjie!

This is a lot of guessing. It is all connected. The 3 is r6c7-9 and 5 is r11c12-16.

Any other hints, JunkyThrowy?

It would be more helpful if the people giving hints could get the numbers right. Thanks for trying but...
Head at R1 C15-18
Beak at R6 C19-22
Wing at R11 C7-11
Hope this helps.

So tricky to get the back and tail correct, extra hints below:

tail end
c1 r9-10
c2 r8, r11
c3 r9
c4 r8
c5 r7

neck
c12 r8-10
c13 r8
c14 r7-8.

So hard for a poor picture. Not good.
