Ducks

Ducks eating and the trees reflected in the Canning River (Perth), taken at my friend's house.
They have a small deck from where they feed the ducks, black swans and whatever birds come around (twice a day) so they are never short of hungry visitors.

Participating in James's Weekend Reflections and Eileen's Saturday Critters .

  6. Dearest Sami,
    Black Swans must be very elegant looking.
    Nice spot for feeding water fowl.

  8. Beautiful - seems like you can swim in there, too! (I don´t even know the German word for the white... well "help" to get out of the water).

    1. Yes you can swim there, but the water is dark with lots of leaves that fall from the trees, so I would rather swim in their pool. They have canoes and we used them to go up and down the river.

  12. Wonderful! I wonder do they have names for them, like the rest of us name our cats and dogs?

    1. I think they are too many, and new ones being born every year, so they don't bother. But I bet the ducks know them :)

  14. Even a little stair for the ducks to get easy in and out of the water. How far can you go.

    1. The stairs is to repair the jetty if needed, the ducks can fly. They sometimes even go into the pool :)

  19. Gorgeous reflections Sami, we used to get a pair of ducks landing in our pool once a year, P hated it because they make such a mess.. we haven't seen them since we got the pool cover, they just didn't understand that :) :)

    1. When my friend has her cover off the pool she also gets ducks swimming there. They also take a seat on her outdoor furniture and even poop on some of the pillows, lol.

  20. Those of us who grew up feeding the ducks (who knew that was not such a good idea!) will always have a soft spot for ducks!

    1. Feeding the ducks was always fun for us as kids too. I was bitten by a white swan once when young.
