I popped outside for a quick canalside walk after lunch and had to go pelting back to the house to get my camera. Because DUCKLINGS!

Ducklings, hooray!

[nanila]

Yes! I can now believe that next week it is spring!

[davidgillon]

Wow!

[nanila]

Indeed! She was working her metaphorical socks off keeping them corralled.

[turlough]

Awww, they're so cute!! And so many! I wonder if they're all from her own eggs or if some of them are adopted.

[nanila]

I think you're probably right that they're not all hers. She might have been baby-sitting some of them. There's another female duck stationed one lock away up the canal.
