Mallard duck gives birth to huge brood of 24 ducklings, Hazelbury, Dorset, Britain - 17 Apr 2013
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Mike Walker / Rex Features (2304101h)
Record Breaking Mallard Gives Birth To 24 Ducklings
This mallard duck could be in line for a place in the record books after producing a monster brood of 24 ducklings at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust in Arundel, West Sussex.
The doting mum laid her eggs at the beginning of March in sub zero temperatures, but despite the odds against her she managed to hatch them all.
Now the harried parent certainly has a lot on her hands as she struggles to juggle her huge brood and keep an eye on them all when they go for a swim.
Fitting all of her offspring under her wing for a snuggle is also something of a problem, with one forced to sit on her back instead!

Swan Upping on the River Thames between Shepperton Lock and Windsor, Britain - 18 Jul 2011

A brood is released by the Swan Uppers
Swan Upping on the River Thames between Shepperton Lock and Windsor, Britain - 18 Jul 2011
Swan Upping dates from medieval times, when The Crown claimed ownership of all mute swans which were considered an important food source for banquets and feasts. Today, the cygnets are weighed and measured to obtain estimates of growth rates and the birds are examined for any sign of injury, commonly caused by fishing hook and line. The cygnets are ringed with individual identification numbers by The Queen's Swan Warden, whose role is scientific and non-ceremonial. The Queen's Swan Marker produces an annual report after Swan Upping detailing the number of swans, broods and cygnets counted during the week.
