Mother mallard and the kids

A spring capture at Constitution Gardens. We haven’t been there in months, but the last time we went there was nobody around to take a picture of.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

Pre-deflation, posted earlier:

Nikon Z 7 ,Nikkor AF-S 300/4E PF ED VR with FTZ adapter
1/500s f/8.0 at 300.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

The details are so good - what a pretty duck and the "kids" are so sweet. V

Nice family shot, sans Dad, Helen. Dad's probably off to the pub with the boys.

Always cute to see baby ducks - I guess they're mostly grown by now.
