Our ducks have been showing up almost daily. Sometimes they fly in just for a quick dip in the pond. Other times they come for a longer stay and paddle around, climb up the stream to the upper pool, stand on top of the big rocks or wend their way up the grassy slope at the back of the pond.
These days Fred often comes by himself. We assume Ethel is nesting somewhere. He seems perfectly content to be alone, just lazing on a summery afternoon. Did you see him in the top photo?
Fred's view:
Marvellous.
Is the Tea House finished now? It's looking very smart.

If I were a duck I would definitely hang out in your pond! Have they ever nested in your yard? It would be fun to have ducklings around, wouldn't it?

How fun to be able to duck watch. Will you be making way for ducklings soon?
