Title: Just a few Pics
Post by: rossivale on July 08, 2010, 20:41

Thought I would make a post without asking for help/advice for a change  :)

So here are a few pictures of the last few days at my place.

Swallows decided to nest in my garage, the result was 5 eggs, and 5 fledglings (spelling) so very happy with that.

And then there is Kelly, she is the dirtiest duck by far  :tongue2:  always covered in muck, I did worry that I would be unable to recognise her when I bought 4 Cherry Valleys, but I have not had that problem yet  :D

And finally, wondered why I have not been having many eggs from Daisy, she is the escape artist, I have clipped her wings, highered the fence but still she gets out, and I now know how, she uses the blinking fence as a ladder!  She just climbs it!  :D  So today I found her latest stash of eggs, last time I found 21, today I found 17, and they all sank to the bottom of the water, which I am hoping is good?

Lets just say I have never heard such a racket when I moved her off the eggs  :ohmy:

Hope you enjoy.
