Motherly Protection

Went for a walk in the drizzle today with my good friend Laura and these little buddles of fluff lightened the day. They were so young that they weren't yet able to eat the bread we brought along, but mum was happy to see us.

Its a great time of year to see such sweet little babys. The best duckling was the one hiding under mum at the front, it had bright orange feet unlike the others and in the next minute mum sat on him.
11 ducklings in total I bet she's kept busy stopping there mischief.
