    The 2 mallard ducks have arrived back again this year. I have been training them to accept food, and have been suiccesssful to the extent (after only a few days) that they come to me when I approach the pond (instead of flying off like last year) and have even started to follow me around the pond in expectation. Cool
    You might recall that last year we had little ducklings (you can view the video on my website) http://www.btinternet.com/~fujiyamagarden/video1.html) and I think that I will try to get Wonderwoman to feed them whilst I take a little video as an update for this year
    I will let you know if I succeed ....

    Hi Sam, lovely to see you again! :)

    Just looked at your videos. Since you and Mrs Sam love the ducks, please send me your address and how to get there and I'll tell the mallards that are trying to nest in our pond where you live and how welcome they will be there. :D

    Seriously, they look lovely - but not in our pond, it is too small.

    Looking forward to seeing your various threads again. :luv:
