Where is my Mum?

Where is my Mum? (Anas platyrhynchos)

This lone Chick was swimming about all alone looking for his Mum. It finally followed the Family in the other shot. When it caught up the mother of the family came over to it, but it obviously wasn't hers. The little chick then swan away again calling for its Mother. I hope it found her or I don't think it has a future.
