It occurred to me earlier that in all the time I have been frequenting these forums I have never posted the obligatory Duck shot. I understand that this is totally unacceptable behaviour and I feel that the time has come for me to make amends!

So, without further ado, I present to you my ducklings...

And also, this sorry looking little thing was hanging about so I had to take his picture despite him having a face that only a mother could love! I have called it the "Cootlet" as I guess it might be a baby Coot but can anyone confirm?

Enjoy! C&C welcome!

OMG! The first two are the cutest little birdies I've ever seen! Way to go. Even #3 is cute! Never seen a "young" coot. Only have "old coots" around here....

Thanks for sharing!
