Duck's Nest Found
I've had the builders in recently to work on the roof and whilst
putting up the scaffolding my father noticed a nest underneath a shrubbed area by my front door. We counted about 5-6 pale white eggs (large) which seemed camuflaged by old leaves and the odd feather. The nest has otherwise been undisturbed. Although the front garden is small, it is hemmed in by bushes, a fence and a gate which is always shut! Save for the postman, the small enclosed area is never occupied normally and the lane is pretty quiet. There is a pond in the field behind the cottage about 75-100m away where I occasionally hear ducks and it was suggested that these were duck eggs since they'd been seen on the lane. Even though I've never seen any near my property and I'd like to confirm it's a duck's nest, and most importantly, if they're likely to return. I know very little about their habbits so any info would be greatfully appreciated, thanks. |
