three ducks have taken over our garden. they come in each day, eat all the birdfood that has fallen from our bird feeders, and chase off any other ducks that might be getting close to our property. we have named these territorial water fowl maud, george and harold. harold is a non-"purebred" mallard, with funny colouring. our suspicion is that he has been hired by george and maud to serve as bodyguard, as he's quite large and tends to do the attacking when other ducks venture too close.
we will be watching out closely when the young are born to see which of the males they resemble.
Aww...I love all of the duck drama that goes on in your garden. And another potential duck love triangle too! :-).
