This could be the cutest, most comical duckling expression I’ve ever seen.
This duckling was at a small local pond with its parents and four siblings. Plenty of people walked straight past them as they were snuggled so low in the grass that they were barely visible.
I was snuggled flat on the grass myself, which gave me an intimate view of the little family. Occasionally the sun would peek out from between the clouds and light up one of the babies. I was super lucky that this one was lit up just as it glanced towards me with this adorably quizzical expression on its sweet face.
I am still not home from my trips. It’s a reverse lockdown situation as I need to stay away from home while my lovely family recover from the dreaded lurgy. It feels awful not to be able to help them, even the twin babies are unwell. Hopefully I will be home some time over the weekend. As soon as I’m there, and I get the chance, I’ll get to work on the calendar. Over the past couple of weeks I’ve had some wonderful photography opportunities that I’ll be adding to the calendar; hopefully it’s not too late for people to want to order.
Happy birding, Kim
