When we got home after our meal at the Copt Oak we were surprised to find our 10 young ones still in the frog pond. Usually they go and join the other 5 some time in the morning and stay at the big pond until it's bedtime. I did see them all come out once when I took these photos and immediately go back in again - maybe the wind is too fierce for them?
Where did that mallard come from ??
ReplyDeleteYes, interesting. If you mean that last one [our erstwhile green goddess] I was sure it came from one of "our" eggs - I can only blame Fanny, but considering all runners etc started off from mallards the genes have come through. Lovely emerald green, though ....
