Great pic of that rooster john m
Good that you sorted out the killer puke Dundee
Parries are great parents when they get them on the water - this pair got three out - I have been keeping an eye on them most days since 19 Sep -
I know pukes kill ducklings but this pair were not afraid of the heap of pukes round here and the pukes never bothered them - that looks fairly relaxed -
So 25 Oct - now they are half grown - no wonder cause the little buggars never stop feeding on stuff round the edge -
Couldn’t believe it yesterday - I knew there was a mallard hen with a couple of ducklings somewhere round the edge of this pond - the parrie drake swam over to some willow weed and hounded the mallard hen out and over to another nearby piece of water - she landed by her drake and the parrie flew back to his brood - aggressive buggar - the poor mallard separated from her brood and squawking her head off
