Wait For Me!

The ducklings have hatched and were taken out onto the lake by mum. I think that there’s eight (they dart in and out of the reeds so fast that they’re difficult to count) and this little one wandered off by itself. He/she soon realised that the others had left and was going like the clappers to catch up.
My heart’s in my mouth for a few weeks when I see the newly hatched babies. Sadly only three baby coots have survived out of six!
