I nearly have it, almost there!

I had a great time photographing these ducklings while watching the parents closely for signs of attack! This duckling was desperate to catch the bug hovering just above its beak.

I don't think the duckling succeeded in catching the bug - he kept falling on his bottom and looking surprised. He did manage some grass roots though!
