Joan Elizabeth, this mother duck was a little bit special. She had only one duckling and most of the time left it alone circling a fountain's bassin. So the duckling made its rounds, tourists standing around the fountain taking photos of the wee thing and mother and father sitting in the grass nearby doing duck things, mostly grooming and quacking, ;-).
This is wounderful natures photo. Thanks fro sharing and best regards from Germany :-)
ReplyDeleteI find ducks do mother very well, rushing off their little ones whenever people get too close.

ReplyDeleteDucks en France .... ooohhhhh ... that must be dangerous, isn't.
ReplyDeleteRatzfatz, I haven't seen any oranges chasing the ducks, so maybe they are allright.
