Liz came to help with the ducklings. They had baby baths on the patio so I didn't have to walk up to the pond at the top of the garden. |
 |
At first they were more interested in the muddy puddles between the paving slabs!

There was much flapping of wings! |
 |
a great deal of strolling about... |

more dabbling in puddles... |

Day 28 No time for funny photos today! D has a poorly wing and, with the others pecking at her, I had to separate them. D spent a few hours on her own and was lonely and cheeping so I tried to keep her company. She enjoyed sitting on me and settled down to sleep! |
