Ducklings, Wisteria and Roses

Ancona ducklings!!  I took 7 eggs from my duck, 7 were fertile and 7 ducklings hatched - perfect result!!  These are the 'middle' four, showing the complete range of makings, from big splashes of colour, a few little dots and no visible markings at all!


Here is the rest of the gang in the brooder, 2 ring in khaki campbells, 5 grey calls, 1 silver call and the first 2 anconas.



Close up of the little silver call :)



The roses are looking better this year, pruned by my mother instead of me and sprayed for black spot they are rewarding the extra care with lovely blooms.




 Another plant in the short but hell flashy flowering season is the wisteria, which was looking whizz bang a week ago, but has now 'gone over'.
