A little duckling is making cheep cheep noises because he cannot find his mum and desperately starts following a group of geese.
Mother Goose turned and soon let the ducking know that it had made a mistake and got it to go away. It carried on going cheep cheep as it carried on looking. Mum was not to be seen.

It was a lovely sunny day as we walked round by Radley Lakes…
None of the wildlife we saw was that unusual.
But there is still some beauty in common things.
