cassis Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 So it would be out of order to say "Beaux nichons, mon petit canard" to a gendarmette?Obviously the bloke does not know the difference between a duck and a chicken.

cassis Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 [quote user="ErnieY"]Was the picture taken in winter I wonder cassis [6] [/quote]No - I just went out yesterday, saw these birds on the pond[IMG]http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i26/cassiscassis/wildlife/mallards_3.jpg[/IMG]So I shouted "Duck!" to let the OH know another bunch of wildfowl had arrived.And look what happened.[IMG]http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i26/cassiscassis/wildlife/mallards_4.jpg[/IMG]They seem to be eating all the frogpoles and toadpoles - one way to keep the numbers down if you have a noise problem.

cassis Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 [:D]I'm not sure what's going on but we're up to 9 adult female ducks this afternoon. It's starting to feel like an invasion. And the moorhens have got a worried look on their beaks - they used to have the place to themselves.Next door's cats have only taken one duckling to date, which is a result. Still six left.[IMG]http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i26/cassiscassis/sausage/mallards_1.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odile Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 on safari in Tanzania, i saw a really big bird from the jeep and knew straightaway what it was - although I'd never seen one. Other people on the jeep were really surprised when I shouted ' bustard, bustard' - must have been my accent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
