This mallard appeared on Thursday with ducklings, no idea where she nested. We have another female mallard nesting in the duck house at the other end of the pond.

Thanks Brian, a crow has been hanging around so I have been frantically waving my arms and running around to scare it away. haha

Aaaaw lucky you!! so cute :-)
Our pair kept coming back every day for a couple of weeks but luckily for them they didn't nest here, which I'm glad about as our pond doesn't have so many safe places as yours and crows have taken over last years magpie nest !!
The male still comes back most evenings though probably for a bit of quite time from the kids lol.

Lovely photo,Dawn. So sad to think they could be taken,isn't it? I know everything has it's place in nature..but I wish Crows etc,would take a liking to burger places,and their leftovers,instead :o)

How sweet to see the ducklings, it's such a shame though that not many of them survive. Hope your little ones keep safe Dawn.

Thanks everyone, she seems to be a good mum as they are hidden most of the time, in the dogwoods that overhang the pond. I did see them today though and counted 7 ducklings, quite a handful to protect. I hope they stay safe too.
