Ducklet Season

We have had two ducks in the yard this year, sitting patiently in opposite flowerbeds.. The first brood hatched on Monday, and here's one.. By gum, they are hard to photograph this time, as the pond is so weedy

Duck Time!

It's that time of year again... Hatched from a nest in my yard...
I think we had 13 to start with.. Sadly, the attrition rate is frighteningly high.. Enjoy them while you can

Walkabout

Tebay Services, on the M6 near Kendal. The ducks can touch their beaks to the window as you eat.  You can't quite see it, but a red deer was eating the vegetation here too...

Ducks, Deluxe

A loud "quack" in the shop doorway - we looked, and the two young ducklets were wandering in.. Mum, outside, scolds loudly "You haven't got any money"
Leaving, they walked all the corners of the yard, making sure...
