Yes, I know you've all published your ducklings photos, but here are mine. Better late than never.
Our first sighting of ducklings was on the Stratford Canal on 12th or 13th April. Mummy duck came out of the undergrowth and waddled off the bank into the canal with a splosh. Then two tiny ducklings followed - they must have only just been hatched - and dropped into the water with two tiny sploshes. It all happened much too quickly for me to photograph.
So here are a few more ducklings, this time on the Grand Union by the Boat Inn, Stockton, on 16th April. I counted eleven ducklings scattered on the water, but only four in the photo above (mere specks).
And two more, closer up.

at the end of this post illustrates it well. But first, the longest dry
spell ...
