Look what I found in my Garden

16 comments


Just been out to my garden, as you do, and what did I find ? A young duck, obviously got separated from his family. All attempts to get him to fly out failed, so just took these pictures and left him to it, hoping he wouldnt rake up all my flowers. I could hear the parents calling to him……came in and left him and he seems to have disappeared now.

Quite lovely, its funny I love ducks but can't stand geese. Perhaps its because the geese are so loud at 2am.

Yes but they always seem more agressive as well. I love ducks. There is a little river that runs behind my bottom fence, so we often get ducklings and moorhen.

That's not what I would want to see in my garden. I hope he found his parents and left your garden intact.

A lovely moment for you I'm sure but also panic I expect as you wondered would he stay or catch up with his family. So pleased if it was the latter.
