The return of the ducks by happypat

The return of the ducks

Last winter Harry fed two ducks. They flew in everyday sometimes twice. All of a sudden in the Spring they disappeared…..babies we thought. Never saw them again until this morning.
The same two with friend or grown up baby but they knew the routine & exactly where they were fed.
It was lovely to see them again.

It was snowing slightly & bitterly cold as I walked to the village for my hair cut at 8.40am this morning……early for me these days!
How lovely for you to see the ducks again ! I am sure they will be coming daily for their meals again! It was an early start Pat, I should have had my hair cut today but not till 12 noon. but I had a phone call from Lynne , cancelling her home visit due to the weather - there was quite a lot of snow and still snowing hard at that time!

How lovely Pat. I love ducks. We have a pair that have visited each year for the last three years but we haven't seen them yet this year. Fav.

@beryl I’m usually still in my dressing gown at 9am these days. My appointment was 9am but I can get moving when needed! I expect it’s bad weather over your way, thank goodness no snow lying here.

Aww! Lovely shot, they certainly seem to know where the food is!

Aw this is so sweet. We have regular kookaburra visitors and then they turn up with babies etc. Also, a pair of butcher birds and their baby too. It is lovely when regulars return.

You have such a lovely garden! We had a pair of Mallard ducks that we raised. They came back for a couple of years.

I wonder what you feed them? Their inbuilt GPS works very well!

@happypat Yes it must be cool , last night on news here was a story of a guy in India who helped a bird a big sea one and now it flys with him and stays so cool

Thank you all for taking the time to comment.
We feed them mixed grain we buy for the birds, it’s quite course. Lovely to see them Gary, we do love our garden & it’s just beginning to come alive again if you look closely. It is special when old friends arrive back after so long.

Aren't they clever and they know where to get a good feed. So fascinating to watch them day by day. Enjoy. 😊

Ah love it, always good to see old garden friends!
