Week 3 Birds. In Blenheim across the road from where my daughter lives runs a small stream, there is water in it nearly all year round, especially in the wider parts. Each year the ducks have their nests there and raise the cutest little ducklings. They feed on the grass and run for the scraps put out for them. The mothers are very defensive and can hold off cats and dogs before shepherding the babies away to safety. Sadly the lurking eels do get a few, a grim end with danger coming up from below. I don't like to think of legs being chomped.
