Ducks

[Doug]

Looked out through the early morning rain and had a surprise.
A pair of mallards on the lower lawn, well at the moment it's more like a lake after all of the rain, so can see why they were confused.
No photo as too open to get near, but a beautifully coloured male.

Not on a lawn, a real lake, le lac du Bois de Boulogne, Paris.

We've got 4 col-verts on the farm reservoir this year. Only ever seen two before, and they never seemed particularly successful nesting or breeding. There was also a cormorant a few days ago. Never seen anything like the way it was hoovering up the big carp

[Blaze]

They're here all year round, in the deep ditches, on the various lakes, along the beach .... I'm looking forward to seeing the families !
