The Duck Pond

We have a pond in our front paddock that stays full for a good part of the year. A while ago we hustled the ducks and geese down there thinking they would be thrilled ,thankful and excited to be in REAL water and not just in a plastic bucket filled with the stuff! At the time we were wrong and they could never get out fast enough! We always thought they were an ungrateful bunch and couldn't understand why they didn't like it. The answer became clear when Geoff got into the area with the brush cutter  recently and chopped down a lot of the reeds that surrounded the water. Now it is a lot more open and we can't keep them out!!! Every opportunity they are waddling across the yard to go down there!

And the Geese!

Nearly there! It's a long waddle from the orchard!

Duck heaven now they can see out!!

And there are no complaints from these two either!

Now we just have to see how long before it dries up!
