A pair of Mallards with their brood of ducklings on the Forth and Clyde Canal, in Glasgow. Most of the ducks this year seem to have had problems producing ducklings, but there have been sightings of mink on the canal which is catastrophic for the waterbird populations. In fact there have been very few young birds seen on the canal this year compared to previous years - before mink were recorded in numbers. Ususally the ducklings only had to contend with humans, dogs, foxes and the occasional PIKE!!
