Saw three Cayuga ducks on the river Wye at Bakewell yesterday. Escaped from somewhere I imagine. As it says in the link, they were quite placid - unlike hyperactive Mallards.

We visited a duck pond in Norfolk that boasted Whistling Ducks. We ate our sandwiches and waited - and, by Lord, they do!
ReplyDeleteWe used to have several wild ducks on our village pond, until a gang of illegals pinched and ate the lot!
ReplyDeleteNice pic BTW!
So that's where they'd got to!
ReplyDeleteIs all this true, or is it just someone's canard?
ReplyDeletedearieme - I've never seen one of those, had to look it up on YT.
ReplyDeleteScrobs - if only they had been deported to Rwanda you'd still have the ducks.
Sam - it's too late to get them back, I think Bakewell has adopted them.
James - all true - nothing quackers about it at all.
