On the pond in winter

It's not cold yet, although the pond is already slightly frozen. I watched the behavior of the ducks. They stay close to each other, and when they move, they follow a well-trodden trail. Now they have to survive while losing as little energy as possible.

[Corinne C]

A cool capture! I wonder if they created the channel they swim in or if they take advantage of it?

[Babs]

You always get one duck that wants to go the opposite way to all the others don't you.
