Ducks on Carr Forge Dam

Since a youngster nearly killed himself when his fishing pole touched overhead live wires a few years ago, fishing on the dam has been banned by order of Sheffield Council, so the ducks have free rein. Here, mummy-duck sits on the stone keeping an eye on youngster. As I cycled past, another five of this year's brood appeared out from under the shelter of the bank.
