There's a duck warning sign on the road into Great Haywood as approached from the A51.
Hope this link works ...

Pretty sure it was from Alas Smith & Jones, although I've just been trawling the web and can't find it.

On a similar note,
Apparently the American Secret Service are now being faced with embarrasment when protecting the President, They might have to shout,
"Donald Duck!".

they are beautiful animalsLidl has a few live ducks, and they regularly lay siege to the store, in the hope of getting a few freebies from exiting customers.

Enjoying a drop of red.
And very tasty with a nice orange sauce.

It appears we have acquired a pet. We have a duck nesting under the flax in our front garden.
It's been 'visiting' most evenings over the last couple of weeks, with its mate riding shotgun from the roofs of the houses across the road, but despite me shooing it away and putting chicken wire underneath the foliage to dissuade it, it seems to have taken up residence. It'll have to keep its head down; we're on the main dog-walkers route to Yelverton field. Fortunately (for the duck) cats in our front garden are a rarity.
Oh well - I guess we've just got to wait for the patter of tiny webbed feet. I don't know how they're going to get their introduction to water. The nearest is the canal - about 250m away as the duck flies.
Anyway, I guess the flax is going to get a severe prune some time in the autumn as we really don't want any more ducks next year. It didn't look too good after the winter we've had, but is now looking in surprisingly good condition.

I've only had duck once or twice, probably for Christmas Dinner. I wasn't impressed.
And I did wonder about preparing some orange sauce and leaving it in the front garden to deter it rather than the chicken wire.
Anyway, it's karma of course after my two posts from last week.

It might be stating the obvious, but shortly after all the ducklings have hatched, they'll be marched (walked) to the water. This is probably the most dangerous time for them as, they will cross roads, oblivious to the traffic.
Time to order a few signs:
