Out of about 9 ducklings the mallard couple in the park still have 5 that have not been eaten by the seagulls - hopefully they're big enough now to be safe!
Something different to the frame filling shots I've posted recently...
A Mallard duckling at sunset.
I probably picked the worst day to go out looking for ducklings. LOW overcast skies, wind and rain. I had to shoot at ISO 1250 and used my "slower" telephoto lens...handheld...and believe me, these wild mallards were not sitting still at all....they were always on the move. So if you bother to view this large [I don't recommend it] you will see a noisy and soft image. [Scroll down to see two more pics].
If you live in my area, this was taken in Battleground ---at a stream about two miles before Battleground Lake [no ducklings at the lake yet].
Mallard ducklings. There were 14 in total. I think mum was off chasing other ducks when I took this one.
One of a batch of 10 exploring Clennon Lakes with Mother duck and Father Duck keeping a close watch on them. Paignton, Devon
Thank you all who fave and comment on my photo'/video's,much appreciated.And thank you all for looking.
In 2017, we were neighbors to the nicest duckling family. I did get a serie of shots of them, before they seemingly vanished. I like to think some of the ducks who keep coming back to that spot are related to that feathered brotherhood.
I captured this little cutie several years ago and gave him/her a working over in Topaz Studio for Sliders Sunday
If you fancy a smile. It made me smile. Duckling on Clennon Valley Lakes. Mr and Mrs Duck were close by. I was about 5-8 metres away. It was the only duckling about. I was watching them for about 15 minutes. Maybe the others are not hatched yet.
I was sitting on the shore of the lake waiting for the sun to set, when mama Mallard and her eleven ducklings came feeding along the shore toward me.
We were totally surprised to come upon 12 little "somethings" bobbing up and down in a manmade lake in a local Park. They turned out to be baby Mallard ducklings which is surprising to see this early in the season. They couldn't have been more than a few days old and as cute as a button. They already knew to swim in the opposite direction of anyone coming near.
First duckling of the year for me! What a joy they are to watch, especially when they scoot fast across the water chasing flies!
Some of the 6 ducklings on my local park last week. Unfortunately when I went back a couple of days ago, I could only see 3. Hoping the others were hiding but I fear the worst. All 7 goslings were still around and well guarded by their parents.
Another couple of shots below.
Caught this single duckling being chaperoned very intently by both parents. Such fantastic looking birds that we tend to ignore for the fact they are common but they are great birds and fantastic targets for someone honing their birds in flight techniques although this one is going to take a while before it offers that challenge !!
