Duckling on the Beach

Not what you'd expect to see walking along Cullen Beach, but there he was chirruping away. He kept waddling around and falling in those huge (for him) footprints, then struggled to get out again, all the while calling for mummy. Ordinarily I leave nature to sort itself out, but it was heartbreaking to watch and we couldn't just leave him there all on his own with an incoming tide so intervened and did eventually successfully reunite him with his family.
