Being out at my dad’s old place yesterday, I went for a walk down to the lake in the afternoon. Not too far away from the human families enjoying a day at the beach, I found a family of mallards doing the same thing…
They got a little bit nervous as I approached, so made a unanimous decision to go for a swim.
Looking left, looking right… Seems safe enough…
Here we go!
Always do what Mummy does!
Not sure how she does that thing with her foot though!
Getting tired of all this cleaning… I think I’ll go back up on the beach and have a nap. That human doesn’t seem so dangerous after all…
Good idea, I’ll join you…
Hey, the more the cosier!
We’re a family, we stick together!
And Mummy, of course!
This is our spot on the beach!

ReplyDeleteThanks Sandra. I could hardly believe that they let me get so close, I stood still there for quite a while and just snapped away... They were so cute! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, these pictures are just adorable, I love them!!! The way you caught them copying everything mom does, then just so tired!
