    Duck politics

    Last summer we acquired three ducks, all from the same batch of eggs, and next door also got two, so all five were related. Their beautiful boy was attacked a few weeks back by a fox that got in, in broad daylight. Sadly two weeks later he died in the night. So that leaves his sister all...

    Accidentally ended up with a boy and two girl Abacot Rangers in the middle of the summer, all completely bonkers and a joy to have around. Who can't laugh when you hear that manic seven-quack call or when they bob their heads in greeting? We hatched an egg for a neighbour who was away for a...
