A duckling finds its way
I want to tell you the story of a duckling I saw the other day. There was nothing particularly remarkable about it, but it was very cute.

It ran back and forth cheeping with increasing distress, before eventually finding its way into the lake to the cheers of the human onlookers.
And that’s just one of many animal encounters I’ve had in the last week alone - some with other humans about, some by myself.
