We′ve embraced their presence by building a small pond in the garden and by buying plenty of suitable bird food.
This year we have 10 ducklings and most have survived. Previous years have suffered awful attrition rates due to magpies.

In the meantime we trust that you appreciate our restraint in not peppering this article with duck related puns.
