Adorable

You can't really look at this without a smile or an 'aw'.

Ma and Pa were proudly taking the babes, all 11 of them out for a little swim. It's the first time I have seen ducklings on the canal and they were drawing in the crowds.

They were adorable and were given a realitively free rein, but when Mother duck quacked they knew exactly where to be. Some were having a race and doing this incredible water running which had me mesmerised.

I was with a pal and we swapped lenses for a bit. Luckily I got the bit near the ducklings, as my new toy wouldn't have been able to get close enough. This isn't the cleanest of shots but it was today's cutest.

School tomorrow - hoorah cried the babes.
