And then there were eight!

Looked out of the window this morning and Mam and Dad Mallard had been joined by 8 ducklings!  They've kept them well hidden.  This is the first time we've seen any of them on the pond.  The Moorhen family don't seem to mind them at all and mix happily.  The Mallard ducklings move light lightning, darting and diving all over the place.  Great fun to see.

The main pic is best viewed at full size.  The two extras show the ducklings.  Expect a lot more pics of these!
