It is always so nice to see a family of ducks, especially if you frequent the area and watch them grow. Nice focusing through the foreground reeds Yves.

Really nice shot, Yves. It's an interesting image and story, and what a beautiful brood they are. It reminds me of when the adult horned grebes that nested on our dugout left their chicks behind and it never failed that a mother duck would take them under her wing together with the ducklings she already had to care for. I have a real soft spot for ducks because they seem to be one of the most sociable birds out there.
