In our quest to tidy up the area around the pond we have been continuing to clear away brambles and were hard at work the other day when a duck suddenly flew out from the side. We have seen a pair several times this spring so didn't think anything of it. Later in the day I was doing some more cutting back and the same duck flew right in front of me. Just as I turned round I noticed a nest with at least 12 eggs in it, if not 14.
And here she is back on her nest. We are going to wait a while now until continuing with our tidying up and maybe we will have some ducklings on the pond in due course!
