Cute Ducklings at Wild Meadows

A Mallard Duck made her nest outside the kitchen window of my home Wild Meadows in Somerset. The successful rearing and fledging of 5 duckings was anything but easy.

Nature is fascinating. Mothers deserve all our admiration and love!❤️😊😁💕

[@understandingitall3927]

Oh! I am soo glad the cat decided to do something else... Mom is doing the best she can, and a good job!!

[@cliffcampbell8827]

The cat didn't even take one? That is remarkable. I would have written those little ones off but kitty apparently had a full belly.

Elegant & majestic looking duck that I love.

I've just seen the ducklings in my local park for the first time after mating season a couple months back. Really nice footage here! Great commentary too.

[@coddiwomple9510]

Was it really caring or did she just get lucky with that vegetarian cat?

[@AlexandruBurda]

These magpies...I am following from my balcony a family of seagulls with two (initially 3) chicks. And the birds that get the parents seagulls most angry and protective are the magpies (although they are much smaller than the seagull chicks now). No wonder...

[@BigBlack81]

I am making it my duty to get your videos more exposure online because your work, both in editing and overall presentation is first class. And the footage is so damned compelling. Cheers to you, good sir.

There was a duck at our stable yard and she hatched her baby's and left there was two eggs left and I put them under my broody hen and she hatched one and looked after it but the other egg hadn't hatched so we but it under my mandarin duck and the egg hatched😁

[@meggi8048]

what happend with the other 2, it were 4 ducklings and 3 more eggs after the cat was gone.

[@Fran_Tluanga]

There are almost all the time one or two unhatched eggs. The mother however can notice which eggs won't make it, so she usually left them when it's time to go

[@shakilnasir3829]

At last five chicks made it , life is tough.

[@theotheseaeagle]

@@suzannedevreugd yes rats are the number one killers of birds. They aren’t native to the UK, and while you could argue domestic cats aren’t native here either, they have simply filled in the niche of the extinct Scottish wildcat in many areas of the UK

Where is their father?

[@Blackadder75]

About the little ones getting eaten or killed, it;s sad, but if you take a moment to think about it, it is necessary. If any species would get 10 surviving offspring each year, the earth would be completely overrun by that species within a few decades. And that goes for any species. Therefore there is a balance, a species with few enemies, like an elephant reproduces slowly and gets only 1 baby, while a small mouse who gets eaten all the time, is very fast and gets tons of babies. For millions of years, this natural balance was in place, the only species who kinda broke it are us. the humans.

It,s not enough to catch it in video, you have to prevent the enemies to protect those eggs and cute baby ducks. If you have done that, I like your video. I think you are crul

Ha ha ha.. if he did that, than he would be cruel to consider that magpie or crow!! It's nature.. if u have a pet duck then it will be your decision to protect it.. 😊

[@kawythowy867]

Maybe it was a trail cam. He probably wasn’t there to protect them. Mother Nature is beautiful and cruel at the same time.
