Today at 7-15pm a Mallard Duck, a drake, arrived on the grass outside our home. This maybe heralds Summer as we always have 5 or 6, sometimes more, waddling about here during the Summer months. Watch this space!  |

CWL On thinking about my post its one Swallow that doesn't make a Summer isn't it? Maybe one Duck might, you never know.....could be like the legendary "Summer of 76"! |

I think he was the vanguard for the others, doing a bit of reccie to suss out the lay of the land As long as he doesn't send ground troops in! Keep to the "peaceful settlement" scenario.....no fighting on our land...but when theres one female to 3 or 4 drakes, feathers fly! A UN resolution? |

Well......two Mallard Drakes been around here for a week or so.....five Drakes today.....no sign of any females yet so the "lads" are getting on quite nicely....no squabbling, chasing or pecking at each other! Wait till Ms/Miss/Mrs Duck arrives....feathers will fly literally!  ;D |
