Today, Bert and the ducklings saw each other.

But first, some cam shots; last night, a duckling went on the EcoGlow again (probably the same one, showing an adventurous personality):

Ducklings drinking:

The usual opening shot of the ducklings; time to add more bedding tomorrow, I think:

A closer look:

I opened the bottom portion of the door, so Bert and the ducklings could see each other:

They retreated at first, then came back out. Bert was good, just standing in the doorway; I was ready to stop him from going inside, but he didn’t try:

He turned his head to look at them from his other eye:

(Fun fact for today: ducks can be literally half-asleep: one eye closed and that side of the brain asleep, the other eye open and that side awake.)

A wide-angle shot of Bert and the ducklings after I closed the bottom of the door:

The ducklings settled down again:

I also recorded a video of Bert quacking and the ducklings peeping, which I’ll probably upload tomorrow. Something to look forward to!
