Five Little Ducks......

This little duckling reminded me of the nursery rhyme 'Five Little Ducks'. They all go off one by one but at the end of the rhyme, they all come back again. Unfortunately, that was not the case here - he was one of 10 and is now the only one surviving!!

We sing that nursery rhyme at work and I really, really want to change the last verse to and none came back!!! But then I am evil!!!!!!!
What a sad story your beautiful photo tells!

Lovely duckling

Nice to see the movement of the wings and water :)

[Catherine]

@amfrumbiddivurd He was rather sweet!

[Catherine]

@blueace He was 'spooked' by the fish jumping below him! Quite amusing to watch!

[Walks @ 7]

Your shot shows that he has a good 'fighting' spirit. Love the ripples and his strong stretch. Good Luck little ducky

[Catherine]

@joysabin Thank you - he wasn't shy and retiring! I do hope he survives!

[Islambad]

Must have been so cute to watch.

[Photo Bird]

Love all the ripples around him

[FBailey]

Poor little mite - looks as if he's trying to fly!

[Catherine]

@islambad It was - he was trying to eat the fish food!!

[Catherine]

@photobird Not sure if they were caused by him, or by the fish below who were biting for food!

[Catherine]

@fbailey He wasn't keen on the fish below jumping for the food!! He has a lot to learn!
