(delhibirdpix) Knob-billed Duck --comb duck female and 13 chicks 1

I had observed since 3 days only one female was there which was training its chicks. sometime they were running in water and sometime were resting at the edge of lake on sloppy surface.whenever their mother was flying away the chicks were coming out of water at their resting point which was very safe .after resting when they were going in water they were going one by one.there was long and medium grass in lake and around lake dense tree boundary
picture quality is poor due to long distance.as many as  13 chicks were moving here and there with their mother.the chicks looks very young and beautiful.
i had seen young chicks first time.
