Who can resist a fluffy duck........?

Not me!

After a draining few hours at school I headed home ready to collapse into an evening of slothfulness. As I drove past the duck pond though I found myself thinking how good-for-the-soul it would be to catch a few ducklings if there were any about........

And there were!!  A whole fluffy family.  And the great thing was they obliged and swam down to where I had secretly hoped I would see them..........an area where ground level is below water level as a bike track ducks - pardon the pun - under the road.  Almost perfect location for a beak-level shot of the cute wee fluff-balls.
