An endless supply of little bugs keeps these ducklings moving from Lily pad to Lily pad :) What a perfect food for these little rascals! Mama Mallard is always nearby, surveying her babes :) I love how they spread out looking for bugs, and then all of a sudden they all race forward together and gather into a tight bunch!
It's amazing that these ducklings are so light they can stand on a floating lily pad! I'm not sure how the bugs get onto the lily pads; I imagine they can either fly or swim, but they're not safe with a bunch of ducklings on the prowl ;)
This video was shot at Beaver Lake in Stanley Park, in Vancouver BC, Canada.
Thanks for watching!
