First Ducklings

Yesterday evening the first ducklings appeared on the river. I was unable to tell how many because they were under their Mum. The bitterly cold wind and overnight frost most unwelcome, their Mum managed to keep them alive - at least until today. I don't know how many she started with but currently has six. I would ask all who see them  NOT TO THROW BREAD AT THEM - this will only attract crows and gulls to their location, and they will be taken.
