Ducklings on the Wendover Arm

 

On my walk on Sunday along the Wendover Arm of the Grand Union Canal, on the stretch towards Halton, I came across some recently born ducklings. Their parents were ushering them alongside the far bank in a cluster, so I missed taking a photo. I thought I had counted eight.

So yesterday I found them again, this time on the stretch to Wendover. Talking to some people watching them, we only counted seven. This time they were already scattered around the waterway. But then bringing up the rear was this little fellow trying to catch up his father. So the same eight, already showing some independence.
