Do You Want To Paddle"............

...................or shall we just dabble? These look like Aylesbury ducks but on checking, they are more likely to be Pekin Ducks or a cross between the two. Pure Aylesbury ducks have Orange legs and Pink bills whereas the Pekin duck has Orange legs and Orange bills! In the 18th century their 0wners tried to keep the birds as clean as possible as after they were killed the feathers were sold to make Quill Pens. It is pouring with rain but the ducks are quite happy dabbling in the puddles and preening themselves.

It is absolutely dreadful here this morning - enough said!!!
