The Duck Invasion! (by sarah)
This morning I heard lots of noise outside - I thought oh no Tims caught some gosling or something and is torturing it (Tim being the cat), I went outside the door only to be flown at by an irrate mother duck. I screamed - she quacked.
I could still here loads of strange quacking next to me - I looked down to fine juvinile ducks around my feet in a panic, they then hastily retreated into the dead end of the coal store! Trapping themselves - I thought they were going to have heart attacks! They were trying to climb the coal sacks and just sliding back down them.
I put out some bread for the panic stricken mother waiting up on the grass verge and then 'hid' inside and took photos as they made their daring escape!
We are very happy becuase we thought the magpies and that had eaten all their eggs but obviously not 🙂
