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!

Cute little one.

  

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

"The Ugly Duckling" is a Danish literary fairy tale by Danish poet and author Hans Christian Andersen (1805–1875). It was first published on 11 November 1843. This is the tale: www.worldstory.net/en/stories/the_ugly_duckling.html

 

This duckling (youngster) was wandering around between the geese on the lake. He looked so miserable there, maybe he'll be reunited with his family soon. (He’s not ugly, he’s cute!) We can't touch or grab the birds in the park. When I was going to post the photo on Flickr I remembered this tale from my childhood.

The only bright yellow duckling from a brood of 14!!

Taken on a grey day on the Isle of Mull. The duckling seems to have found itself a small crustacean to snack on.
