Alle meine Entchen schwimmen auf dem See,

schwimmen auf dem See,

Köpfchen in das Wasser,

Schwänzchen in die Höh'...

Eben nicht, sie trocknen auf Steinplatten ihren Flaum bevor das nächste Gewitter kommt, das sich bereits mit Blitz und Donner ankündigt.

Ich wünsche euch einen gewitterfreien und trockenen Donnerstag.

When I first saw these ducklings last week (when I didn't have my camera) there were 10. Today only 9. I was sorry I didn't take my zoom lens but this is a sweet shot of them all lined up.

The parents were really showing them off and brought them to the bank but in my excitement my camera wasn't focusing well so a lot were deleted - they don't stay still!

I saw this huddle of mallard ducklings, trying to keep warm, while Mom keeps an eye for threats.

(Cairina moschata). These ducklings were very cute. The blonde one with the light coloured beak was definitely the bold one!

duckling...

One of a flourish of ducklings enjoying the sunshine at Roma Street Parklands today. This one was doing a good job of 'standing up' ... if you could call it that.

This pose by the duckling with the cocked head made me think of a person who is pondering a question.. Taken at Commonwealth Lake yesterday morning.
