| Remarks : | These ducklings were photographed opposite to the large water body near a temple wall where rain water had accumulated (as there was plenty of vegetation seeds or invertebrates available). The mother had distanced itself from the ducklings and couldn't be clicked in same frame. These ducklings were following their mother who had constant watch on the young. - SK |
