Indian Runner Ducks by ludwigsdiana

Indian Runner Ducks

will be my project this month.

They are on a wine estate 5 minutes down the road from us and I love to watch them.

Here is a link about them https://vergenoegd.co.za/sustainability/

There are so many of them! I remember you posting about them recently, and their natural pest control use.
April 1st, 2024  
They look like they are taking part in a marathon, only they have no numbers on their chest or back. Sweet shot. Eagerly waiting for more.

They look like they're having a party. Great capture.
April 1st, 2024  
Quite a brace of ducks! I just learned that a group of ducks on the ground can be called a brace.
April 1st, 2024  
How awesome for you to be only a few minutes from so many wonderful wine farms and fabulous sights
April 1st, 2024

Gosh, that's a lot all together. My niece had one that they took away with them in their caravan. It used to follow her every where...including the toilets!
April 1st, 2024  
A great composition and a fabulous capture, Diana! How delightful to see them all together like this! Fav
April 1st, 2024  
Oh my so funny and cute!

Love this. Can't wait to see the shots to come!
April 2nd, 2024  
They are cute. That’s quite a crowd.
April 2nd, 2024  
Oh my goodness, I love this!
April 2nd, 2024  
Wow, that's a lot of ducks. Great shot.
April 2nd, 2024  
I need a flock of those for my backyard. Too many snails!
April 2nd, 2024  
@merrelyn No Merrelyn, the only one that I know off :-)
April 2nd, 2024  
@ludwigsdiana Ok, I had a vague recollection of one of your posts, perhaps during COVID lockdowns about new ownership and the ducks not being cost effective so they were getting rid of them. Could it have been an April Fool trick?
April 2nd, 2024  
What a great shot with them all facing you!
April 2nd, 2024  
And they are off and running
April 2nd, 2024  
Wow. What a lot of ducks! Great shot!
April 2nd, 2024  
Great topic Diana!
April 2nd, 2024  
Such a fun looking crowd. I read that they don't fly, are relatively quiet for ducks and eat insect pests and grubs. Pretty useful group!
April 2nd, 2024  
Beautiful scene. For now, they are keeping their distance.
April 2nd, 2024  
This is going to be so fun.
April 2nd, 2024  
gheez! a gazillion of them. that has to be a lot of poop on the grass. nice shot.
April 2nd, 2024  
That's so cool! Thank you for sharing the link- I read about why the ducks are there and the job they are doing!
April 3rd, 2024  
@merrelyn for a few years they were not there Merrelyn, the new owners ripped out all the vines and they had no work to do. Now that they are growing, the ducks are back on the job ;-)
April 3rd, 2024  
@lynnz @kjarn @jamibann @jacqbb @falcon11 @haskar @linnypinny @summerfield @kchuk Thanks so much, they are amazing :-)

@summerfield no poop on the lawn Vikki ;-)
April 3rd, 2024  
Oh Diana, I love the inquisitive looks you have captured here.
This month will be wonderful!
April 3rd, 2024  
I'm still thinking about the winery's ducks and the job they do! They remind me a little of the Peabody Hotel's ducks in Memphis (who have a slightly different job).
April 3rd, 2024  
what a great initiative!
April 4th, 2024  
My goodness- there are so many of them!! It reminds me of the overly large flocks of Canada Geese that infest places like golf courses around here. But these are much nicer looking!

April 5th, 2024  
A lot of ducks!
