The ducks are back

[RobAmy]

Well my wife saw a pair of mallards today in our pond while I was as work. First of the season. Glad I got the pond up and running yesterday.

Yay the duckies are back! I'd like to see some babies this year please

I will put a request in

 

[Big Lou]

Quack quack (closest animal I had to a duck)

 

[j.w]

Is it a white swan standing in a snow field Lou

 

[Big Lou]

Heck, it didn't show up. It was a camel.

Awesome! They like you... they really really like you!

I'm thinking about taking out some of my potted plants and adding bigger stones this year. My pond still has pea gravel everywhere from when my Mallards visited last year, and they will probably be back in a few weeks.

 

[j.w]

Good idea JB. My goldfish seem to be able to dig that gravel easily out of the pots also.

Aww, I think baby ducks are so cute

Sounds like a good plan

I like the babies also. We only had adults at the pond last year, no babies. We have a pond near us so they where most likely there. They used are pond for relaxation away from the kids

They come here now and then, but due to my high hanging heron net, they don't visit the pond. The herons visit too often to take the net off.

We had a stray duck last year. Maybe he will return this year with a mate? Our dogs are not the most welcoming hosts, so we'll see if we get a second chance!
