Teenage duckling

[nanila]

Only one of the bevy of ducklings that appeared on our stretch of the Worcester-Birmingham canal about a month ago has survived to be a teenager. Happily, it seems to be doing very well under the attentive eyes of its parents.

Aww, so cute. We are usually over-run with ducklings here but I haven't been to the river since lockdown :(

Duckies! What a handsome young duck.

So fluffy. :)

I'm glad you enjoyed it. They were out there again today. :)

Yes! The downy feathers are disappearing fast.

Hopefully since spring got warm so early, you'll be able to see the second clutches in summer. <3

[nanila]

An especially alert one. :)

I hope you do too! They're such a delightful sight.

Not for too much longer! The downy feathers are disappearing fast.
