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.

Cute little one.

I has a visit today, from all ten Ducklings that recently hatched near by! This picture reminds me of the old song, ten green bottles hanging on the wall! lol!

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!

Hope this little guy is more successful than his siblings!

Only 3 left out of the original 8!

Duckling Portrait

"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.

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.

Tufted ducklings on a bank at Dulwich Park; they were about to dive into the water; I love their flippers

I can count 10 little ducklings, can you?

The duckling sculpture is sporting a stylish winter hat.

This is one of the famous bronze ducks created by Nancy Schön located in the Public Garden near the corner of Beacon Street and Charles Street in Boston.
