Week 11 and the ducklings are already a week older. There were 7 last week and there are still 7 this week. So luckily the heron hasn't snatched any. There are only 5 in this picture, it's hard to get them all together!

They are very cute. I have seen a Blue Heron capture a merganzer duckling and it was very sad.

Week 14 - Wilson's Phalarope - It is always fun to photograph a pair of birds. It is challenging to get two fast moving birds in focus at the same time. This species is quite unique in that the female is brighter and larger.

• 500.0 mm
• ƒ/13
