One of many ducks that live on the lake behind my building (it's called the Duck Pond – go figure) and they are so tame the waddle across the roads, as do the geese, and we all stop our cars and wait for them to cross.

DeleteSimply adorable! I'm waiting for the Canadian geese's little ones to appear in my part of the world. Should be soon.
ReplyDeleteChronica Domus, The fleets of little geese are a very welcome sight – so enthusiastic about getting on with growing up, I always think.
