A couple of bird images I took yesterday when I visited the Caterham pond at Earl Shilton, Leicester. Nothing rare unfortunately but good light. Mallard ducklings in various stages of development are always nice to watch. Whilst there I saw a Crow attempt to pick off the last one in a line. I thought he had it but Mum Mallard thought different, flew up and attacked him and he dropped the Duckling which didn't appear injured.
