Another Friday head-count

As of lunchtime, we still have seven ducklings. As well as getting quite big, they're now beginning to lose their down feathers and are changing their colouration. Last year only three chicks (of 30+) made it as far as the seven we currently have. And since two of those appeared to ultimately escape the quad, perhaps this is going to be a good year for the ducks. I must remember to bring the camera in next week.
