Ah, a David Attenborough classic! Those duckies are quite resilient.

They're so cute! I think if I'd been the person filming that, I might have run in while one of them was falling, snatched it and run away...

The bravest little duckies. And to think: some days I am afraid to get out of bed. There's a lot to be learned here.

I had no idea duckies could bounce. How brave they are!

I am awed, impressed, and oozing with brave duckie cuteness, although the Mandarin reference initally caused concern.

How do they get back in the tree?
oh.
dear.

p.s. Amber I tried that once in a woodland stream (I just wanted to hold one, I swear I wasn't going to take it!) Duckie cuteness is rivaled only by their fierceness if they think their babies are under threat.

Although being dive bombed by a duck is an interesting experience I don't suggest seeking it!

Awesome.
The first duckling that jumped looked like a squirrel or somethin' right at first. :)

Ah duckies.
They are so great.

And to think that that exact cycle has been continuing unchanged, for centuries, As long as the natural habitant is unchanged, it will continue for more centuries.

Whenever I watch this show, I keep expecting Cleese to interrupt himself with something like 'NEEE! NEEE!'
