Duck and ducklings seen at the Belper River Gardens.

Awe cute its lovely to see the ducklings.

They have a lot of ducklings and then sadly the babies disappear gradually. They are so cute though.

I live by a canal watching the ducks and ducklings the mother soon gives distance bit by bit from them I suppose so they can learn to survive on their own.

Lovely picture Lindak .

Thanks Driad.
How lovely to live by a canal and see the wildlife Thrupennybit.

Yes it is thank you Lindak

Do you get any Water Voles where you are Thrupennybit?

Yes we do the canal I live next to is the Coventry canal a little further down joins the Oxford Canal at Hawkesbury junction where I lived next to prior to living here. The part I live now has a nature reserve that is at the rear of my house then goes around actually on to the canal tow path which I cut through to go to the Richo areana shops.Lindak.

Sounds a great place to go to see a variety of birds.
