Thank you for your comment. Mallards...Hello Martin. Thank you for your comment. Mallards do seem to get up to all sorts of funny things but I've never heard of that before. What a strange sight! They're clever birds, though, when it comes to food sources. I'm glad the Siskins have made it over your way. I've never known so many fly through. Hopefully it's been a good breeding year. Look forward to catching up with you soon!

Good luck for your next visit. What intrigues me about the one I mention is that another horse paddock, half a mile down the road, doesn't attract a single migrant.
