Will publish soon.

Introducing Chocolate Duck.

She came to live with us after a little mishap with local wildlife.

Not so Fantastic Mr. Fox came to play.

 After one kill, one maim and an early morning trip to the vet 

for a magic sleep needle, we were two ducks down.

Thanks to cousin Monique for selling us one of her babies. 

So now Lucy has a new sister.

 Goodbye Granny Duck and Daddy Duck or was it Roger?

Remember our last duck disaster?
