On August 2, 2025, the riverside revealed another chapter in the ongoing story of survival and instinct.
For the 6th day in a row, the シf6 ducklings were left alone as their mother flew away. Despite the repeated “abandonment,” the tiny babies stayed calm and patiently waited for her return, showing remarkable resilience.
🪿 シf6 (15 days old)
-
シf6-15 ducklings were found alone once again—six days of consecutive “leave-them-and-go” behavior by their mother.
-
While waiting, they responded with calls when アf3 approached, showing awareness of other ducks nearby.
-
Even as crows fought nearby, they stayed still, briefly freezing and calling once, but remaining composed.
-
After a long wait, the mother finally flew back! The ducklings reacted but didn’t rush to her, instead staying calm as she returned to the nest.
🪿 キf3 (22 days old)
-
キf3-22 family was first seen in the child-rearing area. Recently, they have been moving between the upper and lower dam areas more frequently.
-
One duckling boldly crossed to the opposite bank on its own, ignoring other ducks, while the mother followed behind.
-
Later, the mother displayed a familiar “about to fly” behavior—and indeed flew off, leaving the ducklings for around 15 minutes. They waited quietly until she returned from the rice fields.
-
After reuniting, the family suddenly swam downstream together in a coordinated movement, showing their growing unity.
🪿 アf3 (45 days old)
-
アf3-45 moved close to the シf6 area, causing the young シf ducklings to call more actively.
-
Later, アf3 briefly approached the キf3 family before suddenly retreating across the river, possibly due to another duck hiding in the reeds.
🪿 Other Families
-
Tf8: Seen at their usual resting spot with the mother and 5 ducklings confirmed, though not all 8 were together.
-
A large group of moulting ducks was observed, making parentage harder to identify.
Today marked the 6th consecutive day of witnessing シf6’s mother leave her ducklings. Despite human worries, the ducklings continue to survive and adapt.
キf3’s growing independence and アf3’s movement into the child-rearing zone made this a dynamic observation day.

2025年8月2日、またもや置き去りの日。
シf6の雛たちは6日連続で母カモに置き去りにされましたが、健気にお留守番を続ける姿を記録できました。
🪿 シf6（生後15日目）
-
シf6-15 雛6羽がまた置き去りに。これで6日連続記録に。
-
待っている間、近くに来た アf3 に反応してよく鳴くようになっていました。
-
カラスが喧嘩する音にも大きく動じず、一瞬固まって鳴く程度で落ち着いていました。
-
しばらくして母カモが飛来し、雛も反応。駆け寄ることなく落ち着いて合流しました。
🪿 キf3（生後22日目）
-
キf3-22 親子を発見。最近は堰の上下を移動しつつ、子育てエリアにいる頻度が増えています。
-
雛が1羽だけ対岸へ渡る場面も。母は後ろからついていきました。
-
橋の下でお昼寝の後、母カモがやはり飛び去り置き去りに。約15分後、田んぼから戻って合流しました。
-
その後、まとまって下流へ泳ぐ姿が印象的でした。
🪿 アf3（生後45日目）
-
アf3-45 がシf6の近くまで来て、シf雛はよく鳴くように。
-
その後、キf3の隣まで接近しましたが、すぐに撤退し対岸へ渡る珍しい動きを見せました。
🪿 その他の観察
-
Tf8：母と子5羽を確認。8羽は揃わず。
-
大換羽で羽抜けのカモの集団も確認されました。
シf6は今日も置き去りで6日連続記録に。キf3も母カモが飛び去る瞬間を捉えることができました。
アf3がシf6とキf3の間を動き、どの親子を追えばいいか迷うほどの観察日となりました。
