Ducks a liner hazard?
 

Hi all,

we have two ducks that visit our pond, and they constantly poke around
the edges and bottom. That's cute and all, but has anyone heard of ducks
actually poking a hole in the liner? Our linear is 1.5mm

Thanks,
Tom

Not sure about the liner but wonder, Do you have any fish left?

Ducks have claws at the ends of their webbed feet, if the liner is
exposed where they go in/out, they may tear it.

I had ducks visit my two ponds, no damage but
I think my liner might be thicker.

The biggest worry about ducks is the amount of duck poo they deposit in the
water.

Our ducks were fairly shy and only stayed a couple of hours. Long enough for
the labradors to finish their morning nap and want out.

We also have a neighborhood pair that stop in several times each spring.
When not plopping down in our pond for a quick swim, they wander about
the area, visiting front and back yards, eating bugs, slugs and snails.

I've a pair of mallards, due back any day. Quite happy to land in the
pond, eat at what is under the feeder, drink, batch, poop, and mess up
the pond ...

This will be like the 4th year the same pair (AFAIK) has come back.
They nest at the local park district pond, but come here to feed in the
spring.
