Ducklings and their Mother, Glen Innes, Auckland, NZ
Walking home from work tonight and I spot out of the corner of my eye this tiny little duckling trying to struggle through a fence to its mother. I looked a little closer and there were a couple more ducklings trying to get back through as well. Tried to pull my camera out to get a photo of the struggle when Mother Duck must have noticed me and rushed around the end corner of the fence to herd her little ones to her.
As we were by a busy road I decided to follow them so they didn't try and cross the road. They wandered for around 5 minutes up the road with little rests along the way. We got to this area with long grass where they stopped for a little while. As I was trying to get out my phone to take a sneaky snapchat for some friends they scuttled off into the long grass. Got some funny photos of the Mother Duck poking her head up above the grass to see where she is going.
Looking back through all the photos this one stood out to me, a Mother Duck standing watch over her babies.
Hope they make it somewhere safe for the night. Best trip home in a long while.
Anything interesting happen on your way home from work?
