Duckling - not very wild

So there I was, out this morning looking at trees for the WidWed challenge, when what should I come across but this little piece of enchantment.  And of course I had entirely the wrong lens.

Mum and this one chick were sunning themselves by Hyde Gate on the bank leading down to the Nuns' Stream.  Surprisingly, perhaps, Mrs didn't seem too bothered when I sat down near them, in fact she tip-toed up to me and very gently asked for some food (which of course I didn't have - wasn't doing very well, was I?)  And let me sneak closer still.  This was one of the last pictures I took.  Don't you love that leg stretched out behind?

So as this is not a wide shot, I have the really lovely option of tagging it for WildWed instead.  Thank you so much, Cailleach, for continuing to host this amazing challenge.

And enjoy your evening, folks  xx
