I looked up with some trepidation today to see two of my daughter's ducks circling the pond, above the scrub. They did many laps (must be fit), and eventually one landed. I raced out there but, too late, it looks like they've already found it, at least today. Much of the more delicate pond weed has been eaten and I hate to think how many juicy frogs they might have found.

Radical changes are likely in the ducks lifestyle over the next day! I guess we had it too good, for too long. I'm rather fond of eating duck but apparently that's not an option - yet.
