User's notes
the older 4 ducklings were down closer today without their parents who were quite a distance away from them, they stayed there for quite a while before swimming off together. At one stage they had a visit from one of the younger ducklings from the other pair so was able to get a closer pic of that one which is on a separate listing for the younger 3 ducklings still with their parents. See sighting 4519453 for the 3 younger ducklings and their parents.
