Ducklings!

Posted on April 17, 2020 by pensitivity101

We have just got back from a walk in the park and seen the first brood of 2020 ducklings!
Mum was proudly escorting seven babies towards the island, but the problem is the water level is so low, they can’t get out without going up near the bridge.
I tried to take pictures with my phone but they were just blobs, so these are from last year

About pensitivity101

I am a retired number cruncher with a vivid imagination and wacky sense of humour which extends to short stories and poetry. I love to cook and am a bit of a dog whisperer as I get on better with them than people sometimes! In November 2020, we lost our beloved Maggie who adopted us as a 7 week old pup in March 2005. We decided to have a photo put on canvas as we had for her predecessor Barney. We now have three pictures of our fur babies on the wall as we found a snapshot of Kizzy, my GSD when Hubby and I first met so had hers done too. On February 24th 2022 we were blessed to find Maya, a 13 week old GSD pup who has made her own place in our hearts. You can follow our training methods, photos and her growth in my blog posts. From 2014 to 2017 'Home' was a 41 foot narrow boat where we made strong friendships both on and off the water. We were close to nature enjoying swan and duck families for neighbours, and it was a fascinating chapter in our lives. We now reside in a small bungalow on the Lincolnshire coast where we have forged new friendships and interests.

    Our lake is too far to go to at the moment, so your ducklings were very welcome!

    Man, it is that kind of things as an animal lover that just wants me to unrealistically reach down and set them on the island and ta da…all is good. Of course, Mama duck would probably make me run faster than I think I can away if I even tried to “help” her and her babies…lol Hope you have a nice weekend.

    Nice! We have some here around the complex (in the “moat”), but it’s hard to get a pic 💕

    The ducks here are starting to lay eggs… now with the snow I hope they can keep them warm!
