Take a Duck to Water???

This afternoon we decided to give our ducks and geese a little treat and herd them out of the orchard where they live and take them out to the front paddock where we have some reeds and a pond thing still happening after the latest rains. Now the goslings are big enough and the worry of being snatched by an Eagle or Falcon is gone, it seemed like a good time!

Off we went. They are very easy to muster as long as you don't go too fast!!

Through the gate........the pond is in sight!!!

It took a bit of manoeuvring to get them near the water...

But at last they saw it!!

In the ducks went...

And the Geese!

They all seemed to love it.....for about 2 minutes!!!

Then out they all came!!!

Next thing, Peg has waddled under the gate....with the three Runners in tow....across the yard, through the garden gate and they all ran home!!! Back to their little blue plastic tubs of water......!

The Geese stayed up by the gate until l gave up and herded them all back too! What a bunch of ingrates!!!
