Last night, whilst checking that the automatic bilge was still doing its job during all this rain, we noticed that one of the seed potatoes we'd planted was uncovered. Thinking that maybe the rain had exposed it, we covered it back over and thought no more of it. This afternoon, there was a duck egg in it. That must explain the phantom potato uncoverer, then...
Question is, how do you gently persuade a duck that your front deck isn't the best place for their nest? We don't really want to have to stay put for a month or so whilst they hatch and then take a trail of confused ducklings with us everywhere we go like an aquatic pied piper...
