Being In Demand

Young Ducklings are quick to learn where there's a food source, mainly from their Mum of course. 

During chilly weather their need for food is much greater, to keep the cold out and keep growing as well.

The combination of dried mealworm, porridge oats, and mixed bird seed, is an ideal high protein diet to do the job.

The sequence of shots shows what happens when I turn up with the food every day, the ducklings virtually scoot over the water, have their fill and depart to sleep it off !

This Mum knows me from previous years and her experience shows. It's nice being in demand !
