A rare sight this far north, only the 2nd one I've ever seen in Yorkshire.

I saw a duck with ducklings 4 days ago. Only 5 ducklings, so some had already become snacks.

I fed them mixed birdseed, which sinks. Only the duck could eat its fill. The ducklings, still so tiny, did their best. One stuck its head under to chase a seed. Very cute. Wish I had pics but I was busy parcelling out seed.

And 3 days ago we moored across from a nesting swan. Beak tucked under a wing the whole day. I fed its mate.

Mallard Duck keychains are currently available!
Fully handmade by me, they’re one of my most popular design, and I honestly get why!

Why are there *two* #duck warning signs on the post? Is the smaller one for the #ducks to read, to try and encourage them to cross safely? #MidSuffolk #NeedhamMarket

Look, a duck!

M is for Mandarin

Introduced to the UK, it is now widespread in the wild and ironically there are now estimated to be ten time more in the UK than in China
