Was out on my mates canal boat on the weekend and just as we where about to leave the bank, this hen with a dozen very young chicks started to swim past the boat. From the size of them I was told that this may have been there first time out on the busy water, but rest assured Mum was keeping a close eye on them as we moved away from the bank. Lovely to see the new life in Spring and I hope that they all make it to adulthood.Thanks Petrea for the correction, this post was originally called Eleven Ducklings On The Thames, but I can count twelve as well now that you pointed it out.

Beautiful shot. And guess what? I enlarged it and counted--twice. I believe you've got a dozen ducklings there. How nice!
Thats quite a few, I saw our first ducklings on only stretch of the canal yesterday, only four. But we have 2 broods of greylag goslings.
