A few days ago, Rod and I walked Lucy around the back of Botleigh Grange hotel. On the way we crossed a small bridge over a stream. Much to our surprise, we saw a 'mummy' duck with 12 ducklings in tow. Unfortunately, we did not have a camera with us. They were swimming against the tide so the stronger ducklings were OK but some of the others had to navigate their way across a few pebbles to make progress. It was fun watching them learn and watching the mother duck waiting for them to make sure they were alright.
Next time I do that walk I will have to take a camera with me and see if I can spot them again.
