The Mandarin Ducks

A few photos of the mandarin ducklings at Eyeworth pond. This is the family of 6 and all have survived so far. I think the family of three were on the far side of the lake .

The Mandarin Ducklings Have Arrived!

We Have had some very wet weather this last week and I haven't been down to the pond at Eyeworth for a while In the distance we could see a mandarin female with I think 6 ducklings.
Aftr a while another family appeared with 3 ducklings and I was able to get a few photos, but these little ducks move so fast.
Hopefully we will be able to watch them grow.

Back to Eyeworth Pond.

We went back to Eyeworth for an hour or so and witnessed the frisky ducks in the car park, the por female was being harassed by several drakes!
meanwhile the little blue tit was looking for a mate.

There are now 5 males and 4 female mandarin ducks and hopefully they are thinking about raising a family or two.

A couple of sparrows.
The little coal tit was having a quick snack.
