Strangely enough, I popped into Thatcham Reed beds and Lakes on the way to Hungerford, was amusing to watch a mother and her two youngsters feeding initially 10 or so ducks. Withing seconds it was 40 to 50, then the Geese turned up, at this stage the youngsters decided that discretion is the better part of valour and ran for it throwing their remaining slices into the melee.
You shoud take a bag of your cultivated worms with you (ugh)
I have no mealworms yet, they are still in the egg laying stage.
Oh Next time then
Still Ugh.
How big a brood would you normally expect to survive? They are quite big now and there are 5.. so I would think that most if not all would make it to adulthood?
I would guess so, the smaller waterfowl have problems with the local Pike, probably why they tend to stay very near the reed beds.
That's not a bad haul then, 5. They couldn't do that every year or we'd be overrun!!!
