oh i’m a big sucker for ducklings…but this is absolutely brilliant….it captures something so special…. as others have said it’s simply adorable the way the little baby duckling snuggles up to mum, it’s like he’s saying…..’oi mum….come here…got something to tell you’.... and mum comes over and dips her head so her ear is close to his little beak…ready to hear him whisper a secret thought!
