Babies

Went to the Red Barn Cafe today for morning coffee. I love the holidays!

When I was there last week Mum and Dad duck had hatched 9 babies, but they were so small and the parents were so protective that I couldn't get any respectable photos of them. Today however, the whole family were out on the water - then they had a sunbathe on the grass.

I was so pleased to see that all 9 of them have survived so far and not been carried off by the hawk that does regular fly bys.

I also like this diptych that I made up, Daddy duck having a grooming session and baby following suit. I think he's playing Simon Says.
