I was visiting Ladeda the other day, when we noticed that one of a family of ten ducklings was struggling to keep up with rest of them, as it had a damaged leg... It was very hungry and I doubt it would have survived another night in the wild. Getting some physiotherapy in the pond... Well today I'm happy to say that it is now able to stand on it's bung leg, so Hoppy is now just limpy Standing proud... Taking a break in the sun QUACK

I forgot what a group of ducks was called, and found this interesting website... Collective Nouns for Birds palomaraudubon.org/collective.htmlInteresting, you can have a brace, flock, flush, paddling, raft, and team of ducks... QUACK ;D

A paddling of ducklings circled the clutch of caravans. ;D
She has a flash house! Do you have a soft toy (surrogate mother) for Hoppy to cuddle up to at night? ;D
QUACK ;D

D found a lost duckie this morning so I got a cuddle... D tried to give it back to the wrong MotherDuck who then tried to kill it, but off it went down the river to join up with his raft of ducklings.
