Wild Bunch

After yesterdays woes, today some good news - 11 ducklings are still alive and together !

The one missing after yesterdays baptism of fire with the swans made it back to the brood. They were bunched tightly together and looking good.

Every hour that passes gets them closer to flying and they will be watching and learning all the time about the river environment.

 As if to reassure me, the wild bunch gave a quick display of fly / diving in the warm summer Sun, this will strengthen their wings and speed up the ability to fly. As yet no sign of the Mother and other duckling.
