Quacktastic quadrupled

'Oh My God look at the pond' - yelled Martin this evening as he watched one duckling after another plop in, under the watchful eye of Pancake (mother duck).  

We've been out there all evening watching them, taking photos and worrying about the cat.  Much of the time we watched them struggle to get back out of the pond - I hope it gets easier....

We're thrilled, we have 12 ducklings, and I'm feeling happy.
