Young Mallard

[Michaelaw]

This young duck on the pond keeps an eye on you but is so far not afraid of humans. I was sitting on the pond bank watching her feed off the bottom, when she was full she came and curled up at my feet on the bank. I imagine she could be trusting of humans forever but I know, someone will come along one day and teach her how to be afraid....
