Five on Friday

It's Friday so once again I'm joining in with  Amy at Love Made my Home for this week's Five on Friday. 

Yesterday morning we went for a walk around the lake before the rain set in so all my photos are lakeside related.  It's the time of year for new life with baby birds being fed by their parents and new growth on the trees and shrubs. 
Below are some signs of new life spotted as we walked.

1.  Ducklings - Mallard ducklings with  their mum.

2.  Goslings - Canada Goose gosling with one of its parents.

3.  Young Coots - not sure what young coots are called other than chicks so I'll call them 'cootlings.'  Looks like the whole family are here.

4. Cygnets - this swan had six cygnets.

5. Starlings - meanwhile back home there are loads of Starlings and their young in the garden.  They are very amusing to watch as the baby starlings just sit with their beaks wide open and parents scurry around trying to find food to satisfy them.
