DUCKLINGS, goslings and cygnets - how cute are they?

Members of Guardian Camera Club have shared some photographs taken around the area of new life as they take to the water.

Each week we ask members to submit their photographs based on a theme - this week was water babies - and there were some very fluffy shots sent in.

Members are also welcome to share other images on our Facebook page.

You can join 624 others in our camera club on facebook at facebook.com/groups/guardiancameraclub
