Ducks

Since Tuesday March 20th a couple of ducks decided to settle down near the pond.

I provide them with breakfast, lunch and dinner in the form of a crushed rusk mixed with water and chicken morning food.

In return they keep the pond free of filamentous algae.

April 17th: a picture of the duck's nest near the pond:

the female is breeding, well camouflaged

On May 12th the duck has got 9 babies:

After a few hours they already disappeared from the pond and the garden

On Sunday May 13th I spotted them in the Frans Halskade near the cemetary

and later on in the Burgemeester Elsenlaan:
