Great pictures. Google Earth/Maps may help you spot the pond if there is one.

Ten healthy ducklings. Brilliant job Henrietta, this probably wasn't her first rodeo. And most excellent hospitality, Mr Toilet Duck.

Great thread. It’s amazing what ducks can do within 24 hrs of emerging from egg!

The female looks like a blonde mallard? So maybe one of last years babies?

Do they get full size that quick?!

It's definitely not Henrietta, this female is much lighter in colour.

That "rolling dice" crap? Not sure, I used some free image hosting site and it looks like it added that code to the photo link text thing. I will try and edit it out.
