Week 8 Day 50
They started the morning eating my Dad's shoe laces! |
 |
Afternoon nap! |
 |
Day 51 The ducklings were particularly friendly this morning. Ignoring their food to forage around me! |
 |
Marty and BQ have a cuddle! |
 |
Mothers' Meeting! |
 |
The grass I pick for them evidently tastes better than that which they are standing on! |
 |
Day 52 Looking lovely!
|
 |
Entertaining Beth! |
 |
Playing with the toggle on my shoe! |
|
Conversation! |
 |
Day 53 So friendly!
|
 |
Titchy is an excellent forager! |
 |
Sheldon and Daddy duck. (Having the babies around has softened up Waggle who rarely came this near to me by choice before!) |
 |
Yes, it tickles! |
 |
Hanging out by the rill! |
 |
Day 54 Playing statues! The ducks stayed absolutely motionless for a minute or two. They do this as a defence mechanism when they hear something that frightens them, I think, but it is beautiful to watch! |
 |
Day 55 Fluffing out their feathers and getting back to foraging after their wings were clipped for the first time. |
