Three images of the young Hoodies at two-to-three days old. The young ducklings after swimming around and foraging for food would often climb on a rock for a rest. They generally formed a small "HUDDLE", perhaps to stay warm or to discourage predators. I suspect it was to stay warm as every once-in-awhile one of the outer ducklings would jump on top of the pile to get to the centre, but then, maybe that's the safest place to be.

"And back up he goes, but from the other side."


"Move over guys. I'm coming in."
