Mallard Ducklings


This flush of ducklings had a hard go when they stepped over the grating, as their wee ducky feet slipped through and a few got temporarily stuck. It's a very successful brood of ten for the mother mallard who's leading them out of the frame.

I wonder what would happen if one were scooped away. Would she grieve? Does she know them individually? Would the siblings notice?
