    Ducks visiting

    Every year, our neighbourhood gets hundreds of ducks from spring till fall. They go away during winter and come back in March. They are cute, oh yes, but my hubby doesn't like them in our garden, as they always want to swim in our pond. This is not good for the fish, so we usually chase them out of the water.
    Today we had 3 visitors! A male with 2 female ducks . I went outside to shoo them away from the water.


    But they were really persisting, and didn't move an inch, looking and chatting


    I am sure they are professional duck-models, lol; I came closer and closer, but still they didn't move! I took a terrific shot of them!!


    But then, they decided that the lady-with-that-camera came a bit to close, and they took off. Till next time, QUAAAAAk!!!

    ps. I am crossing fingers that none of this cute birds will bring that dreaded birdflue here. It would be a shame to kill them all

    Last Sunday, we made a long walk in our neighbourhood. We met lots of ducks too then! Here are 3 more pics
    (these pics are taken about 5 minutes walking distance from our house)

    Cute couple!


    I scared them with my camera, so they went hiding ...


    Another couple!


    hope you enjoyed this as much as I did!
