Foxy and the ducklings 2009 |
 |
|
| Spring 2009. Me, and ducklings in the background. | |
 |
|
| Spring 2009. Here you can see the duck couple Quackely and Quack-quack with their ducklings. I was so happy to see this. | |
 |
|
| In winter, when it was bitterly cold, I fed the ducks Quack-quack and Quackely in the park by the hospital. I said to them to eat well so they could be strong and get ducklings. | |
 |
|
| 2009-06-01. And now they had got ducklings! :-) | |
 |
|
| The ducklings were hatched in a little pond by the administration house at campus. | |
 |
|
| 2003-06-01. The mother, Quackely and the ducklings left the little pond. | |
 |
|
| 2009-06-01. Quackely thought she should take the ducklings to the other big pond. They were following her. | |
 |
|
| 2009-06-01. They had to pass the path first. | |
 |
|
| 2009-06-01. Here they go, it looks so cute :) | |
 |
|
| 2009-06-01. Soon they had crossed the path. | |
 |
|
| 2009-06-01. Then they walked in the grass to the big pond | |
 |
|
| 2009-06-01. Now they were in the water. | |
 |
|
| 2009-06-02. I gave Quack-quack and Quackely bread. I gave the ducklings very small crumbs. | |
 |
|
| 2009-06-02. After that they went to the water again. | |
 |
|
| 2009-06-02. Quack-quack had a talk with 2 other males. | |
 |
|
| 2009-06-02. 2009-06-02. There was another duck with ducklings in the big pond too. Here some ducklings swam to Quackely. She accepted the other ducklings. The other mother was not there that day. | |

2009-06-02. Quack-quack, the father. A duck mother use to care for
the ducklings alone and use to chase away the male. But Quackely
accepted Quack-quack. But she did the duckling caring. He was most a bit from them. |
|
 |
|

 |
|

| 2009-06-03. Here you can see that the father is not too near the ducklings but he is rather near. And the mother accepted it. It was fun to get the whole family on one picture. | |
