Young birds have just 14%,chances of survival, as per a study, so it is always wonderful to see a baby growing well. I hope these babies live long. Very sweet video.
As you say the chances that all survive are low Somehow wildlife keeps on and another reason I love it .We can learn so much .Many thanks and greetings across the miles to you :-)
What a sweet little video Helena. They are so cute it should be illegal, haha.... I regret I'm late to watch your latest, I've been traveling in China for the past 11 days, no time for RU-vid, until now that is. I hope you're doing well, and get a lot of everyones favorite brown beverage. 🙂 Warm greetings from Shanghai.... Thomas
As ordinary as can be but such personalities and just had to record this tiny family. .Very few ducklings make it . Hence no matter what this pair is immortal . .Lucky you being in Shanghai ( one of. if not the classiest Chinese city) Coffee is doing well here and trust China is catering to your tastes .. The weather is wonderful , coffee , cake Like a life's lotto .Thanks Thomas & Greetings , Helena 🙂
I've seen this female mallard and one of the ducklings survived .Considering how many heron live here just waiting even one is amazing ..Many thanks and best wishes 🙂
Die jungen Stockenten haben schon einiges gelernt von ihrer Mutter. Ein kurzweiliger Einblick in das Leben der kleinen Stockentenfamilie. Danke fürs Zeigen. Liebe Grüße von Elfriede
Hola Manu y muchas gracias por tus bonitas palabras. Espero que sobrevivan pero con garzas alrededor un patito corre peligro..Esperemos lo mejor.Saludos desde Berlin ,Helena
What a sweet sight to see them walking with their parents. Hope this two all survive. Herons are not the only ones that catch them, because there are also predatory fish that sometimes catch them. Greetings, Tine
