That crazy duck lady

This is a silly post but I am hoping someone may have an idea of what my hen is up to.
I rescued a white hybrid, she’s likely about a year old now. We got her with 3 other ducks her age, all around 8 months at the time. Very sweet ducks but fearful and timid. I do not mind. I respect their boundaries and we coexist happily.
But then there is the white hybrid in question, Iggy. Iggy does not seem to fit in with her friends as well and is often on her own. She does not seem to be bullied or mistreated, just a bit more independent. Recently, I have caught her following me from a safe distance, anytime she can. But then she just stops a yard away and stares at me. And she doesn’t stop.
It doesn’t help that she’s a bit freaky (in a cute way). She’s this skinny little thing with these massive black eyes. I call her Bug because she is so bug eyed. And her bug eyes are freaking me out by staring at me all the time.
She’s still fearful, so if i turn around too quick or take a step toward her, she flees. Only to come back moments later to stare at me. And sometimes she will just stare at me from a distance. She’s haunting me. Every time I turn around, there is this maybe 3 pound duck with the worlds biggest eyes just staring at me. She will find me, wherever I am, to stare at me.
In all seriousness, I’m not actually freaked out by her. It is very cute. A bit odd but I find it sweet. However, she is weirdly infatuated in what I am doing for a duck who doesn’t care to interact with me. So I am wondering what she may be up to?
Should I try to bond with her more? Is she plotting against me? I am unsure. I don’t mind the small bug eyed shadow, but I do wish I knew what she wanted. I would absolutely love to form a better relationship and I can’t tell if this is a possible invitation or if she’s keeping tabs on me hahah.
I don’t know, let me know what you think!
