Cute spring lamb

Cute spring lamb


















Fluffy baby ducklings. The ducks of Dedham Vale are always among the first to produce babies, and this season is no exception. This harrassed mother duck was on a busy stretch of river on a sunny Sunday afternoon, trying to keep her brood of 10 or so ducklings from getting entangled with two rowing boats, a kayak, assorted stick-chasing pet dogs and a supercilious Canada goose. All that free food comes at a price in tranquillity....













Handsome pair of shelduck on the lower estuary. I wonder if they will have ducklings in due course? I must go back later in the summer and see.
