Ducklings galore!

Thirteen ducklings! I wonder how many will survive. A great long walk along the canal in gorgeous sunshine. Saw orange tips, small tortoiseshell, speckled wood butterflies, had a buzzard circling above us, a swan preening, moorhens scooting, smelled the rape and had glorious views. Spoilt for choice  for a blip but hey ho  it is duckling time and this mallard has done magnificently producing 13!
