Adorable.

So sweet. I suspect she feels safer in the centre of the dam. She probably started off with more chicks than are here in this shot.

I like the ripple reflections. This is a sweet little family.

@onewing Strangely enough she only had four this year! Last year it was 8, which was too much as they certainly mess on our benches ;-)

Wonderful image, the babies are so cute. Fav

Ahh how sweet, she must be getting fed up of you stalking her!! I had a mother mallard turn up with 4 newly hatched ones today, I do worry it is far too cold for them now.
