Another backyard ducky

It's too easy for me to get great photos of ducks, geese & squirrels. My backyard is literally filled with the any day I walk out my back door. If I sit on the park bench they come running up to me, expecting a handout. They are literally at my feet surrounding the bench. This little Mallard female was less than 3 feet from me.

Real? If I had an oyster cracker in my hand she would have attacked and ripped my arm off for it. LOL

Re: Another backyard ducky

ducks only visit here in the summer, and Kizzy makes sure they have their cup of corn, she loves to see the tiny fluffy ducklings, but the mums get a bit cross if she gets too near
