En-guard
This morning I spotted a young drakes guarding one of the ducks who had made herself a nest in the scrub on the bank above the meadow.
This evening when I went to check the nest for eggs, not only were there two large duck eggs but also a newly laid and still warm, pheasant egg beside them. I wonder if it was one of the pheasants the we hatched last summer.....?
