User's notes
pair still with the 3 younger ducklings, they were further away than the older ducklings, however one of the younger ducklings came down to visit the older 4 ducklings (so was able to get a closer pic) but didn't interact with them, then went back to Mum who either looked very happy or not happy about him/her going AWOL. See sighting 4519446 for the 4 older ducklings and their parents.
