... this is a picture of Barry, my baby duck.
Hosty lives near a nature reserve and one morning we spotted Barry's mum sitting on her nest while on our morning stroll. Over the next week, Hosty visited the nest every morning and this pic was taken when Barry went for his first swim.
Barry and his sister, Helena, are both doing well but are very shy and not used to humans. We have to be very quiet and only get to see them now and again... But I still love him all the same...
It's like being a grandmum!
