Our little family

I was just picking a few peas and beans when I was startled by the sound of eight young ducks all landing on the pond. I am absolutely sure that they must be our eight chicks from a couple of months ago. I am so happy that they are all still alive and have come back to visit there birth place! This is the first time we have managed to successfully grow ducks without the cats or foxes scaring them off (or eating them)!
