We have ducklings!

We are all very excited as we have had our first 2 batches of ducklings hatch over the weekend! Their mothers have been diligently sitting on their nests for the past 4 weeks and now we have 13 little fluffy ducklings. I don't know how long they are going to survive as the crows and magpies are circling the pond. Nige is out there with his air pistol scaring them off but he can't be there all the time.
Major storms down here over the weekend - we had quite a few powercuts but no damage - even the bean canes just about survived!
