How special is this?

Last week , at Richmond, a mother duck had wandered up from the river and set herself up on the edge of the Village Green where she proceeded to bring her ducklings into the world.  I berated myself all week for not taking photos.  On arrival in Richmond this morning ( Australia Day). I raced to Village Green to check Duckling progress and sure enough they were not only there but very much bigger and very busy.  Check out this delightful 2 year old preparing to feed them and yes parental
