Last night the sun came out and I was able to take some pictures of ducks. New broods on the pond is not noticed. All the same first 6 families. The rest of the mother ducks are in no hurry to bring their babies. On the pond a huge number of lonely drakes, and if each of them is a dad, then very soon the pond will be a real kindergarten ))).
Two incomplete brood, one of which four, and the second only two duckling, yesterday a little posed for me at close range, available for the smartphone.Duck mothers are already teaching their children to dive and eat real duck food instead of bread. Fortunately, underwater vegetation rises to the surface literally before our eyes and is already quite accessible to kids. And filamentous delicate algae also appeared on the concrete walls around the pond.
Just noticed one stray duckling ((((. I saw him swim up to many ducks, but they all drove him away. The kid barely had time to fly away, not to get under the distribution of evil tribesmen ((. Will he be able to find his family? Without a duck mom, the duckling is waiting for an unenviable fate. Over the pond constantly flying large seagulls, to which the duckling loner will become easy prey...
I, of course, will continue my "ornithological" observations. Fortunately, you can walk around the pond after work - our Mahanalobis entertainment )). The pond is beautiful...And alive...
