Ducks!

Post by drmoss_ca »

The three acre pond on this property is a duck magnet. Getting some interesting species, some of which are passing through on their way north to breed.

These are blurry as I was hand-holding a 500mm lens! (I have since mined into the attic and got out a tripod.) Taken through glass sliding doors at pond level, which is the back of the basement of the house.

The otter that I enjoyed watching scampering in and out of holes in the ice came to a sticky end on the road. I hope another will come and claim his territory, but in the meantime fish stocks can recover (I know the blighter ate almost everything during the winter as the herons only come here occasionally now and don't stay long, Have to get some fish back for the belted kingfishers when they come back for the summer!
