We've had a duck nesting in our tiny walled garden for the last 3 years. She's really getting to know us now and comes up to the back door looking for food when we are in the kitchen, and feeds out of our hand.

Here's a few snaps I took of her chilling out by the pond ...

She's sitting on her eggs now, I'll try to get some of the ducklings when they hatch, probably a couple of weeks from now.

Nothing more than snapshots really. Not looking looking for C & C just want to share some duck love ;)

Cheers

She marched them all over to the canal that afternoon. I assume they're doing well as she's not been back yet. At least our pond is getting back to normal now :lol:
