The ducks in the garden pond again...

Ooooooh, I'm all of a flutter again.

I went out to put stuff in the bins about 8pm tonight and looked towards the pond.

A male and female were there! Oooooh......I hot-tailed into the house for my tablet to use the camera. So there I stood in the pouring rain taking videos of them and a few not very good photos.

The male kept bobbing it's head....don't know why they do that?

I'm going to try and get them on my lappie tomorrow to try and put them on here, but I can't post a video can I?

Thanks Eliza, just read that in Forum Help

All I have to do now is work out how to go about putting a video on Youtube. Is it worth it I ask myself

Re: The ducks in the garden pond again...

Ooh, I'd never know how to do a video, it's taken me about 2 years to post photo's, and even then I still have to follow written instructions Orangutan sent me to help..

BTW Pesta, the head bobbing ritual is just part of the flirting ritual to his mate.
(Wouldn't it be funny if human males did that.)

Re: The ducks in the garden pond again...

Thought I'd post some pictures instead of trying to upload a video onto Youtube. Shame really as the birds tweeting and the rain pouring down can be heard in the background, such lovely sounds!

There's three photos and two screenshots from the videos - that's why the piccies are a bit grainy, not to mention the rain plus they were taken in a hurry on a tablet

Here's one.. hope you can see them

Not a very good one of the male getting ready to fly off after the female, when I frightened them last night
