Kiki, the Willy WagTails and more Ducklings!!

There is a nest of Willy WagTails just near the corner of the house, the 3 babies are so big now, they barely fit in the nest.  And the parent birds REALLY hate Kiki being anywhere near the nest!!



Have lots of lovely Ancona X Call ducklings happening, Mums are Saffie and My Pretty.  Saffie is raising 3, but not doing a fab job - she's failed in the past at mothering!!  Mild weather is her best friend at the moment.  I am raising 9!!  The black/white one has to be Pretty's so keen to keep that one :)



The little damaged duckling in the front of this pic is one Saffie let get away while the others were hatching, it took me 12+ hours to find it, and by then the polish had pecked it!!  It died about 8 hours after this pic was taken :(



Blue Mallard with bib and white primaries - so far - wait to see how it grows out!!
