Ducklings, getting too bold?

Ducklings, getting too bold?

Big batch of pictures from the last time I saw the thre-duckling brood on the Compton Park pool.

The birds were feeding very near to the footbridge. Were they getting too bold for their own good? Later reports from Geoff on the Smestow Birders webside that there were only two, then one, left. I’ve been back several times since, with no signs of any at all.
