Ducks

Menacingly cute.

Four slightly sinister ducklings are splashing around in the Airstream's bathtub.  Bathtubs make for excellent temporary poultry housing.  I once housed chickens in the communal bathroom of my uni flat - only overnight, but needless to say, Tim and Chay were very patient housemates.  Looking forward to glorious Aylesbury duck egg cakes this summer.

Temporary accommodation

6am wade into the "stream" to rescue a non-floating duck house plus paddling inhabitants.  One homeless Humbug because emergency accommodation = kennel. He assures me he's charging exorbitant rent and doesn't just want to sit in front of the fire all day.  Remind me to order that second pair of wellies...
