We still have our little black ducks visiting us. Here;s a few pics of them. Only one at a time now as I think Mrs Jemima Puddleduck is sitting on eggs and flies in for a quick bath and a snack.



The water is full of willow blossoms and leaves so I clean it often!

Mrs Jemima Puddleduck

Hmm. You may give Mrs Duck some serious future issues with a name like that O40.

Thanks folks!
I feel priviledged to have them here, but they’ll disappear soon I guess.

quite possibly once the eggs have hatched, but they may return next year to nest again.

My mum used to have a pair of those ducks who came and hung out in her pool each year (despite the rottie trying to chase them off!) so I reckon it’s pretty likely that yours will be back :)
