Well, it was rather a dull evening on Wednesday,
but yesterday was a lovely sunny day, and in the early evening sun I took a load of photos of the little big ones:
This one [which used to be Sarah's darling at the start] is getting little blue feathers; if that's going to be a blue speculum?
Isn't that a brilliant look on HeddaJedda's face how she looks so interestedly at Annie's "pretty little thing"?
All of a sudden they decided to go off to the little pond, but only just through the gate they stopped, turned around and came back - must have been too late in the evening for a swim, because come half past 7 we saw them filing up the ramp and into bed.
PS: I quite forgot to mention that apart from HeddaJedda I heard 3 others making incipient quacking noises - let's hope we get more than just 4 ducks like we did in 2005!
Wow ! I cannot believe the difference a couple f days makes suddenly they are proper runner ducks. Some of then have such distinctive markings already
ReplyDeleteI thought they looked like proper little runner ducks as well when I saw them upright and coming back through the gate, not such scruffy little b.....s after all, eh? I still swear they grow a bit every night!
