Very early September and there's some late summer arrivals on Blairmount Pond.
They've settled by the pond dipping platform.
They've settled by the pond dipping platform.
I took the photos and videos yesterday Tuesday the 3rd of September. I had to chase a cat stalking in the banks long grass.
This Wednesday evening all seven are surviving and are voracious eaters.
They'll soon get fat with the folk around here feeding them.
I hope they survive
Absolutely gorgeous and delightful! I love this! Thank you so much for sharing. As far as the video I posted yesterday on my blog, it WAS the Just for Laughs Gags. Just for Laughs are a group that work here in Montreal, and they are sensational.
ReplyDeleteVery cute indeed. Not an ugly duckling amongst them.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully captured Jim, and they are utterly, utterly charming. :)
ReplyDeleteIt sure seems late in the season for those little ones.
ReplyDeleteNice captures Jim, have a great weekend. : )
Hopefully it will stay warm through autumn and will not be too hard a winter for them. Fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteMost of my pond tadpoles and small frogs will probably end up inside ducks:)
A very nice set of pictures of such a late brood.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your comments folks, they really are appreciated and I know I'm lax in replying.
ReplyDeleteThough I don't always comment, I do catch up on your blog posts.
