Settling In

Slippery Jim and Angelina and starting to set up quite a routine. I admit it's mostly swim a bit in the old bath, have a nap, go for a very quick waddle between the shed and the bath, and swim a bit more.




We have found that they are besides themselves with happiness if you pour some water into the pile of mud built up beside the bath - they dive in with their beaks and dig around for stuff in the mud making happy duck noises like you wouldn't believe.

Adam's also built them an easy exit "duck ladder" at the end of the bath which helps them to get out when they've splashed a lot of water out of the bath and they can't "chest" onto the edge. You can waste hours out their watching these two!

We will eventually clean up the area in front of them - there's a construction project underway there!
