My garden is difficult because it's sloped two ways but it has one thing going for it - over the last four or five years a pair of wild ducks have nested there away from the canal that is their usual home. I suppose they like the peace and quiet and relative security compared with the canal bank. It's been a pleasure watching and waiting for those eggs to hatch and such a delight to see mum and her hatchlings waddling off down the lane towards the water.
And today I saw the ducks in the garden looking for just the right place. They're back. I'm so pleased. This year will be our last time, we're moving soon, but the new owners are so excited about getting a house with something extra. Happy days!
and they are back too. The 'bovver boys' from last years hatching are still around and throwing stuff around including my plant labels. They are comical to watch but seem to be permanent residents now and we wish they weren't, what can you do though. Would prefer ducks really 
Thought this might amuse some of you!
